NOTE.

The Catholic Directory, now in its 76th year of publication, was known up to 1912 as the Madras Catholic Directory and Annual General Register. It was then preceded by the Or do redtandi Officii Divini, etc., which is now issued separately. Each sheet of the Directory contains, as fa r as possible, the latest information down to the time of its going to press.

Nihil obstat. P. JUSTIN VÏON, Censor Deputatus.

Madras, 15th Januaiy 1926. PREFACE.

In offering the Catholic Directory for 1926, the editor thinks he ought to tender a few words of apology to the reader. Fully aware of the many short-comings, omissions and oversights which have crept in the present issue, the editor can vouchsafe to assert that this is a fair attempt at embo­ dying most of the suggestions and construc­ tive criticisms which were sent to him in the course of last year. The chief improvement of the present issue consists in this : the book has been divided into three parts : 1. General Informa­ tion ; 2. Territorial Units ; 3. Alphabetical Lists and References. This renders classifi­ cation of items more easy and opens the way for further improvements which we contemplate in the next issue. The Historical Notes of several dioceses have been recast and to make them still more precise and concise the editor ventures to call for the help of all those who could give any assistance on the subject. The list of Priests is still very faulty. It appeared to the editor like a maze which he tried to unravel. He struck off several names of priests whom he knew to be dead for several years. On the other side he added many names of priests whom he knew personally for the last decade and who had not yet found their way into the Directory. These had been mostly working in Colleges. Besides he got letters from several priests complaining that their names were omitted in the Directory; and strange to say in the proofs he got from the Chancelleries these names were not mentioned either. There­ fore, if any omission of the kind is still to be found, the editor asks that a report be made, not to the editor, but to headquarters, where the mistake may be corrected in the proofs for the next issue. We cannot thank the Chancellors suffi­ ciently for their readiness in providing the required information, only Kandy having failed to forward the Gazetteer. The list of our Auxiliaries has been asked. This we cannot give this year as the number of all our helpers, brothers, sisters, sanyassis is still to be desired. If the various Chancelleries give us the number of helpers they have, perhaps next year we may give an exact list of Auxiliaries. We thank most heartily the Rev. C. Houpert, S.J., lor his yearly contribution to the Catholic Directory and especially for the great amount of valuable practical help he has so readily given to the editor. W e must not omit our thanks to Mr. Arputhasawmy Udayar for the notice on the late L. D Swamikannu Pillai. Indeed, Diwan Bahadur L. D. Swamikannu Pillai was a unique man in the annals of the Catholic Church in India and several have thought with good reason that his loss ought to be recorded in the Catholic Directory. The Editor, January 1926., .P. J. V. CONTENTS.

B y F a t h e r J. G. Houpert, s,j.

Too .many trees hide the forest. After reading through directories and reports cramful of details, one likes to obtain a general view. This is being attempted in the following notes :— 1. The number o f Christians in India and Ceylon, in 1921 — India. Ceylon. Total. Catholics ... 2,606,000 364,000 2,970,090 Other Christians... 2,506,000 79,6U0 2,585,000 This makes a grand total of over five and a half million Christians in our Missions of- India and Ceylon. Catholic-, the only true Christians, have an absolute majority io India ; and are fiVfe times mdre numerous in Ceylon than all the *’ denominations ” together. • 2. Catholic Church Organisation.— There are at present ten ecclesiastical provinces made up of ten archdioceses, twenty-nine dioceses, three Vicariates and two Prefectures Apostolic : in all (without Malacca) forty-three territorial units of jurisdiction in India and Ceylon. 3. The Catholic Clergy in the Same Missions amounts to 3.200 priests, of whom to thousand are Indians or Ceylonese; and of those again six hundred belong to the Syriac rite. By another cross division we obtain one thousand regulars and 2.200 secular priests, if we include in the latter the Foreign Mission of Paris, MilI*Hill and Milan, who total 330. Arnoug the regular clergy, the Society of Jesus at present has five hundred priests in India or Ceylon ; next come the Capuchin Franciscan Fathers, 160 in number, the Oblate Fathers of Ceylon who number 154 and the Syrian Carmelite Fathers who total 120 priests. The other Societies of regulars have a membership below seventy at present. 4. There are 16 Missionary Societies of Priests, 12 of Brothers, and over 60 [of nuns. With ail our elaborate H i e r a r c h y o r I n d i a . 13 statistics we find here a big gap : the number of our Mission Workers. That of priests known and that of nuns now exceeds 5,000 ; but we have only ancient data, those of 1912, for our brothers who then were 735 iu number, nuns 3,615, cateebists 2,727 and teachers 5,616. With the 2,891 priests of that time this makes a grand total of 15,584 Mission Workers. Have we now reached 20,000 ? 5. Catholic Training Institutions, We have at present 18 theoldgical seminaries or scholastieates and 21 preparatory Seminaries or Apostolic Schools. As to other institutions we may better see where we stand if we compare our numbers with those of Non-Catholic Missious (Directory of Christian Missions, Ajmer, 1925J. Institutions. Catholic. Protestant. Teachers’ Normal Schools 25 94 Arts Colleges . 28 50 Secondary Schools 164 664 Vocational Schools 67 170 The Catholic numbers are probably not quite complete ; a good many “ Convent Schools” ^are not classified at all. In other lines Non-Catholic Missions display remarkable activity. They maintain 18? dispensaries, 221 hospitals, 68 homes for lepers, 8 for cdusnmptives and 11 for the blind. * 6. Catholic Residences» Th'e number of localities iu India and Ceylon iu which'Catholie Priests reside is nearly 1,500. The number of localities in British India and its States alone is 688,000, so that uot yet one iu 432 localities has a residing priest. Surely we are still at the begiuning of things.

7. Catholic Literature. The latest survey (September 1925) shows that we have 112 periodicals, among them one daily (0 Heraldo) three bi-weeklies (the Ceylon Catholic Messenger, the Nazrarani Deepika and the Nanaratba Pradi- paya) 21 weeklies and 46 monthlies. As to language, 72 appear in English and 39 iu the vernaculars. Here again a side-look on Non-Catholic Missions may be interesting. They publish, in ludia and Ceylon, 140 periodicals, the majority, namely 84, in the Vernaculars. For our 50 monthlies or bi-monthlies they issue 95. 14 SÎTATISÎIOAL EXACTS.

N o n -C a t h o l ic M is s io n s . 8- The two and a half millions of Non-Catboiic Chris- ti*ns already meotioned (in No, 1, above) form three groups : — Syrians. Protestants, Unclassified 369,000 2,140,000 76,000 The Syrians are either Reformed, i«,, Protestantised (112,000), or Jacobites who number 253,000, or seven in ten. Of the two million and more Protestants one-third are unbaptised adherents, and 773,000, and one-third— are ‘‘comm­ unicants, or church members in full standing.” This shows in what precarious state Protestant Christianity still finds itself. In the Catholic total we have only 63,000 catechu­ mens (not even 2 per oent) and all Catholics of teu years and above, that is, 87 per cent may safely be put down as “ communicants ” in the real senso of the word. 9. The number of Protestant Missionary Societies at present in India and Ceylon is 166, several belong to the same denomination and several denominations co-operate in what they call Union Institutions, such hs the Madras Christian College, the Women's Christian College, the Serampore College and several Training Schools for pastors. Training Institutions for pastors and evangelists are 61 in number, and those for other “ workers,” 65. A comparison of such in­ stitutions with our semiuaries would be incongruous ; but it explains well what follows. 10. The strong point of the Indian Protestant Missions is their immense army of “ Mission-Workers,” who actually number fifty-seven thousand. They are distributed into four classes, as shown in the table below. 22 thousand are engaged in pastoral and evangelistic work, 30 thousand on the field of education, 2 thousand in the medical line as doctors or nurses, and 3,500 remain unclassfied. Educational work alone employs more than half (53 per cent.) of all mission agbnts ; but, as they carefully note, there is no twrd and fast line between educatiou and evangelisation ; many do direct work of both kinds. There is one “ worker,” mission paid, for every fourteen communi- cants ! S t a t i s t i c a l F a c t s ; 15

This bird’s eye view sufficiently reveals some strong and weak poiiits in both Catholic and Non-Catholic Missions. It does not minimize the solid good tbut we are doing. It sbows moreover on the Catholic side bright promises for the future.

By Bt. Bev. Mgr. Mathias, S. C. Assam did not receive any oE the blessings of Christianity until much later than the other parts of India. Whilst the South of India*can boast of having benefited by the zeal of St. Thomas the Apostle, who w h s martyred there by fanatical pagan priests, and whilst it claims as a special patron the great Jesuit Missionary, St. Francis Xavier, the North, and particularly the region of which we intend to speak, has seen the Catholic Missionary fix his tent permanently in its wide plains and amongst its lofty mountains only during the last fifty years. Unfortunately, Protestantism had been propagated in these regions half a century before and the insidious tree will only be uprooted with great difficulty. In reality there had been earlier attempts on the part of ardent and zealous priests who laboured untiringly to bring the Faith to the people of these mountains, but it is difficult to say with precision when these first attempts weie made. When the great Catholic movement was developing in Lower Bengal prior to 1678 it seems that its effects were felt even in Assam. In the work of a certain writer named McCash written in 1837 it is stated that in A ssam “ there are about sixty Portuguese, descendants of Portuguese soldiers who were at one time in the service of the Nawab of Dacca. They are Roman Catholics and every family possesses some rudely-made image or other, generally of the Blessed Virgin, carved in wood and stuck in the ground after the Hindoo custom. They do not pay any more attention to Sunday than the other natives do, their food and dress are the same, and they sometimes intermarry with the Mussulman families. Some are employed as couriers, others as shepherds." One of those native Christian villages was discovered at Bondas Hill, a place near Badapur along the River Barac in the Valley of Sylket. It is the one remaining vestige of appiept Christianity in Assam, it is said that they were A s s a m . 17 given that locality to dwell in about tbe beginning of tbe eighteenth century by a Mussulman Nawab wbo came from Meerut accompained by Mussulmans and native Christians. Where tbe Nawab had enrolled these soldiers, history does not say, but they settled down at Bondas Hill and constructed a fort there. After the war of Birmania (1820-28) tbe Nawab, as a reward for his loyalty, received a grant of land at Baniagany, and the returns from this permitted the Catholics of Bondas Hill to live an idleness. Disputes broke out amongst the members of the little community, their fields were gradually sold to inhabitants of neighbouring villages, and the majority of them (wrote Allen in 1905) earn their living by hard daily toil. According to an account written in the same year by Fr. Marcellino, a Missionary of the Congregation of the Divine Saviour at Badapur, the Nawab marched into Assam at the head of six hundred Mussulman soldiers and four or five hundred Catholics. This Father affirms that he could find no document to prove that these Christians, bad been visited before 1850. We know however that the remnants of these Christian families at Bondas Hill were visited in 1844 by a Fr. Trycenon who penetrated to the north-west of Assam amongst the native tribes in the valley of tbe Bramaputra aud found the Nagas very favourably inclined to Catholicism. This we learn from a letter of his written on the 4th Sept. at tbe foot of the Nagas Hills. From 1870 Fr. Fourmod of the diocese of Dacca was able to remain at Bondas Hill for three years and eventually other priests from tbe same diocese came to reside here for short periods of time. Further on, when I have treated of the introduction of Catholicism amongst the inhabitants of the valley of the Bramaputra, I shall be able to say something of the foundation of a residence with permanent Missionaries in this region. Fortunately there is still living at Shillong an excellent Catholic family of the name of Delanougerede who came to Assam in 1848 and then settled at Gauhati, and who remember the first Missionaries that came to tbe valley of the Bramaputra. In February, 1850, Assam had been joined to tbe Vicariate of Tibet ; the first Missionaries, Frs. Robin, Krick and Bernard tried to go by way of Bhutan. They went along the Bramaputra and got as far as Dew&ngiri, but 3 IS A s s a m . difficulties of every kind prevented their further progress «nd Fr. Bernard, himself worn out and emaciated, had to .support his half-dead superior back to Gauhati. In the meantime Fr. Krick had gone to Dibrugarh to try to obtain a passage through the Misbmis to Tibet but the chief would not grant biin permission to go through. A lieu­ tenant made a sketch of the confab and sent it to France ; in this picture the chief of the Misbmis is seen tranquilly and indifferently smoking his pipe whilst the Missionary is energetically trying to convince him, and to overcome his obstinacy. In a very interesting letter written from Saikwock on December 1st 1851, Fr. Krick tells of his journey from Gauhati to Tezpar. There be found Catholics who were most desirous of seeing a priest. They had lost much of their religion through living amongst Protestants. A Catholic European doctor was living amongst them and the Missionary was able to baptise this gentleman’s wife who had been a Protestant. The priest stopped there for a month and a half instructing and catechising the people and then he again sought Bramaputra and followed it northwards. At a certain point the boatmen deserted him but he was hospitably received by the sacerdotal tribe named Hadia Doeris. These provided him with two fresh boatmen ; one was a dwarf and the other was blind of an eye, but with their help and the guidance of Providence he arrived at Saikwock and became the guest of a certain Captain Smith. “ On the 19th of November,” so he wrote, “ a Captain Wath who had come to Saikwock to arrange with his col­ league for an expedition to Dihong to protect the gold diggers there proposed that I should accompany him, and he promised to put me in touch with the savage tribe called Abors. We set out with an escort of 200 soldiers with nine transport elephants, and after five or six days we fell in with 700 Abors, all armed with the bow and arrow and a spear of enormous length. After treating with them in a most friendly manner regarding their affairs Capt. Wath besought them to receive me and to conduct me to Tibet. ‘ We would not dare,’, they said, * we are afraid something might happen to our guest.’ During the interview the savage dress of our native friends and at $he same time their entirely European cast of A s s a m . 19 features bad struck me as strange, and observing them more closely I saw that each one bore an extraordinary tattoomark. This was a cross neatly designed and painted in dark blue colour on their faces. The greater number bad these crosses tattooed on the forehead : some had them on the nose, and others had one of double lines stretching from the top oE the forehead to the point of the nose. The savages could not tell me the origin of this symbol ; all they knew was that one who wore it was protected in this life and rapt immediately to Heaven after bis death, and that the Supreme Being divided His bappiuess with those marked with the Cross ! I made them understand that I was a priest, a master of prayer, and that I had come to tell them of the mysterious power of this Cross. I took my own crucifix from my neck, kissed the figure of Our Lord, and each one of the savages kissed it in turn after me.” However, Fr. Krick could arrange nothing definite with them, they would not even provide the necessary carriers, and so his plan had to be abandoned and be bad to content himself with visiting the Kamptis and returned afterwards to Gauhati. That Sign of the Cross which he had found amongst the savages seemed to say that their ancestors had been evangelised perhaps in the thirteenth or fourteenth century. History tells us that St. Giacinto of Poland and Blessed Oderic of Friuli had penetrated beyond the Himalayas and evangelised Tibet, gaining daily victories over barbarism and infidelity, and the famous legend of Tsong-Kaba seems to point to even an earlier attempt at evangelisation in those regions. In 1853, the dauntless Missionary wanted to make another attempt to reach the interior of Tibet but he was not allowed. In the following year, however, in company with Fr. Bourry he set out on a third expedition and was determined that this time nothing would turn him from his purpose and he would attempt the passage at all costs. According to the Delanougerede family the Missionaries had taken many gifts with them to distribute to the tribal chiefs. One of these savages, whose greed had been aroused at the sight of the Missionaries’ baggage, determined to murder and rob them. Fr. Krick was one morning reciting his Breviary when the assassin stole up quietly behind him and) when the Missionary bent down to pluck a flower 20 A s s a m . growing in the path, cut off his bead at one fell stroke. Fr. Bourry who bad been ill that morning was lying in bed in bis tent when he was suddenly aroused by the entrance of this savage chief and some of bis friends. The priest was a strong man. and when he understood the intentions of his visitors he strove by every means in his power to defend him­ self but was overcome by numbers. His head was cut off and his body hacked to pieces. His servant managed to escape and carry the news to Gauhati. A military expedition which was sent against these natives by tbe English Government avenged the cruel death of the first martyrs of Assam. Fr. Bernard visited Nowgong where he erected a little cbapel and from this place set out for Darjeeling hoping to effect an entrance into Tibet from there. The English Govern­ ment had granted a piece of land to the Missionaries, the same on which the Mission Station stands to-day. Fr. Robin thought of calling the Trappists to that part but sickness prevented him . from materialising bis plan and the land returned to the Government. After this no Missionary was seen in Assam till 1860 when one day a Hindoo Babu came to inform tbe Delanougerede family that a Catholic priest bad sought lodgings at the bungalow. This was Fr. Mercier from Dacca. He bad done the whole journey on foot and during the course of it had been robbed of his boots and stockings. Only one who knews the great distance he had to travel, the difficulties he had to overcome and tbe excessive heat he bad to contend with, can have a just idea of the gigantic task which tbe good Father had set himself. He had travelled over a thousand kilometres, over mountains and through valleys, under a scorching sun and with no conveniences, it was altogether a strange under­ taking and, for any but tbe highest motives, an imprudent one. During his stay he was fitted out with a new pair of boots, and he afterwards returned in the same manner and by the same way as he had come. Other priests came from Dacca for short intervals but had always to return on account of sickness or for some other reason. Fr. James De Broy arrived in 1872 and be was tbe first Missionary to be stationed definitely in Assam. He was an Italian by birth and belonged to the Missionaries of Calogero of Milan. His sojourn amongst the people of Assam lasted until the arrival of the Fathers of the Divine Saviour A ssam . in 1890. During this time— nearly eighteen years— the zealous priest travelled from centre to centre along the valley, and being of a bright and cheerful disposition he was well loved and long remembered by the people of these regions. He left Assam to enter the Jesuit noviciate but his remaining years on earth were few: he was stricken with apoplexy whilst saying Mass and died at Barrackpore in 1898. Fr. De Broy had been sent by the Bishop of Krishnagar under whose jurisdiction the Assam Mission was at that time. The Mission first belonged to the Prefecture Apostolic of Bengal ; it wa? annexed to the Vicariate of Tibet in 1850, but was finally restored to Bengal so that the Bishop of Krishnagar had to send Missionaries here until the Prefecture Apostolic was erected. Right from 1918, the Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith bad asked us to take over this Mission so badly in need of help, but our own scarcity of personnel had compelled us to refuse. However, after a time, when the same Congrega­ tion insisted, we managed somehow to get togethor eleven valiant Missionaries, who made their preparations at once and sailed from Marseilles on the 24th of December, 1921, arriving in A ssa m on the 12th of January 1922. They saw at once the great promise there was for the Faith in that far­ away land, though at the same time the difficulties in the way did not escape their notice: but these did not deter them for they had unlimited faith in the Help of Christians whose statue they were rejoiced to find already installed in the Church at Shillong, and they set to work immediately. On the 27th of January, a fortnight after our arrival in India, Fr. Carbery, S. J., a devoted Missionary labouring in the valley of the Brahmaputra had the misfortune to f«ll and break his leg on one of his excursions, and it was necpssary that his place should be taken at once by one of our brethren. Fr. Gil set out immediately and arriving at Gauhati, the cen­ tral post of the Mission, on the 1st of March began to explore the valley, and to learn the language, usages, and customs of the people. But even before this, the visit to Assam of the Superior General of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Mission, had enabled us to instil new life into the M ission-sta tion at Ralinng, where Fr. Grignard, in spite of all his efforts and sacrifices, had not A s s a m .

been able to do the work of the two Missionary Fathers, two Brothers and three Sisters who had been labouring there before the war and who had to depart when that catastrophe broke out. The Rev. Mother declared herself to give us some of her Sisters for immediate work on the Mission, and so on the feast of Oar Lady o£ Lourdes our little band was broken up, Frs. Hauber and Deponti, and Brothers Calzi and Conti being chosen for Raliang. We accompanied them several miles on their way, and then with a hearty farewell, wishing them God-speed and all success on their new »postdate, we took our leave of them. Four Sisters set out on the same journey some days later, so in very truth Raiiang was given a new lease of religious life. But trials were not lacking for us even from the first : Fr. Grignard fell seriously ill and was not fully restored to health until May, and then bis Superiors recalled him to bis former Mission where his I elp was urgently needed ; this left our brethern working by themselves at Gaubati and Raliang. In the meantime other events occurred to remind us th »t Our Lord wishes for sacrifice and suffering as a basis for every work o f redemption. Being anxious to acquire an accurate kuowiedge of the needs of the Mission and of its possibilities as soou as possible I decided, after having made a visitation of the existing stations, to set out with Fr. Lefebvre for one of the districts of Bboi country. We started off on the 6th of March, and, having been badly directed, we found ourselves, at eleven o’clock that same night still in the middle of dark forest, where more than once the bowling of w iti beasts rendered us silent and thoughtful and not a little afraid. The sound of a drum reached us on the night air, and seemed to say that not far off there must be human habita­ tions. We followed the sound and soon came apon a rude bamboo hut much dilapidated and offering a loop-hole for the entrance of every wind that blew. A family feast was in progress and we were invited to make ourselves at home and to share with the inmates the protection of the rude dwelling. When the revels were ended all huddled together to seek some repose— a curious mixture of human beings and domes­ tic animals ! We stretched ourselves out in a corner and endeavoured to get what rest we could until the dawn of the A b s a m . 23

new day. The condition in whicli we found ourselves and certain visitors who paid us their attentions during the night reminded us of the trenches, and our slumber was anything but peaceful. Early in the morning we said Mass and set out again on our way, but we had mistaken the route, and darkness found us again at fault and thankful for a very humble shelter. We were amongst the Mikirs, many of whom, no doubt, had never seen a European, and scrutinised us by the light of their blazing fires as though we were oddities, and I suppose that, to them, we presented rather an uncanny aspect.

We could see that the whole country-side was celebrating some feast or other for there were sigus of revelry everywhere. After partaking of some refreshment we looked about and discovered an empty hut which appeared to be abandoned, and which would suit us very nicely, we thought, as sleeping quarters for the night. We appropriated it forthwith and bad just tucked ourselves in nicely (a simple process on the whole), when the natives, who bad seemed rather to avoid us before, now came trooping into our quarters and improvised a ball and native games which lasted till morning, and all to the accompaniment of incessant drumming on tambours and the piping of reed instruments that did not cease even for an instant. Then the fire had to be kept going all the time, and as the hut was known to be unused liberal use was made of the materials that composed it, so that very soon we were as good as lying in the open. Seeing that we had made an unhappy choice of a hotel we got on the road again at a very early hour and stumbled on our way still very sleepy. At 9 o’clock we arrived at Umpanay where we found our first few Catholics, and where we were able to celebrate Mass.

This first round that we made lasted fifteen days and was the occasion of many disappointments for us. The difficulty of finding roads and footpaths, the great wide rivers that had to be crossed, the high mountains to be scaled and the lack of sustaining food—all helped to weaken us almost to the last extreme. We decided to work our way back to Shillong but little suspected that 70 miles lay between us and our residence there, and that another chain of lofty mountains had |o be crQs§ed. But we managed it somehow and arrived 24 A s s a m .

at Shillong at IL o’clock one night in a rather pitiable con­ dition and scarcely able to drag our weary limbs after us. It might be thought that we bad been imprudent but it was all really due to our ignorance of the country: we had to pay dearly, however, for our experience— poor Fr. Lefebvre had to take to bed almost immediately and after eight days set out on the long journey from which there is no returning, fortified by all the consolations of Mother Church, and edifying us all by his holy dispositions and resignation, I began to feel unwell myself from that time, and after another Trisit to Gauhati was striken with typhoid which, with the many complications that followed on it, kept me in bed for many months. These were the first trials that characterised the initial stages of our Assam apostolate, and many minor ones accompanied them. A beautiful statue of Our Lady, Help of Christians, despatched to us by our Superior General, Fr. Rinaldi, went astray and has never been heard of, our school at Hongbah was burnt down, and our large and beautiful church at Shillong was threatening to collapse owing to a series of earthquakes in that part. But notwithstanding all we have much to be thankful fo r ; God has blessed our work and our sacrifices have not been without fruit. In November our small number was reinforced by the arrival of another contingent of Salesians, and more reinforcements reached us in January, 1923, so that we were compelled to utter a special prayer of gratitude to God, to Our Lady, Help of Christians, and to Don Bosco. During that month the Jesuit Fathers, who had givenjus such valuable assistance right from the beginning, withdrew entirely from the Mission, their services being required for the needs of their own vast territory in Bengal. And now the Salesians. scattered about the country in various re­ sidences, do what they can for the extension of the kingdom of Christ in the midst of those millions of souls who inhabit the vast Prefecture confided to the Congregation by the Church. THE TRICHUR CHURCH.

A B r ie f S k e t c h o f i t s t r u e H i s t o r y .

The town was entirely pagan and was one o£ tbe princi­ pal centres of Hinduism, In 1812 Fifty-two Catholic families from Oilur, Aranattnkara and other neighbouring villages were brought over to Trichur by the express wish of the then reigning Raj* of Cochin. The Raja encouraged them to carry on different kinds of trade, supplying them with the requisite capital and setting apart a central part of tbe town with the name Puthenpetta (new street) for their residence. Very soon His Highness granted them by a theettooram (Royal edict) a suitable site for tbe erection of a church. In 1814 the church was built under the Jurisdiction of Goa repr'esented by a priest—Governor of Cranganore. It was dedicated to Our Lady of Dolours. The church continued to be uuder the Portuguese Padroado till 1838, when by a Papal decree, Multum prceclare, this church together with other Syrian churches under tbe Padroado was transferred to the jurisdiction of tbe Archbishop of Verapoly subsequent to a Concordat between the Vatican and the Portuguese Govern­ ment. From 1838 tbe church remained subject to the Vicariate Apostolic of Verapoly till 1861.

The F irst Schism, In 1861 a certain Romo-Syrian Bishop by name Thomas Rocos was sent to Malabar by Joseph Oudo, Catholic Patriarch of Babylon, in response to the oftrepeated requests of some of the Romo-Syrians of Malabar. On arriving here Bishop Rocos called himself “ Metropolitan and Commissioner of the Roman Catholic Syrians in Malabar” . Almost all tbe Romo-Syrian churches in Malabar including the church of Our Lady of Dolours at Trichur, submitted to him. But tbe schism ended in 1862 wben Bishop Rocos being convinced of his wrong attitnde, chiefly through the efforts of the Mission­ aries of Verapoly, sailed back from Cochin. 4 26 T r i c h u r .

Return to the Original Faith. After the departure of Roco3, the church of Our Lady of Dolours at Trichur reverted to the Original faith and placed itself under the jurisdiction of Goa. Thus it continued once again te be Catholic till 1874.

The church falls again into Schism. In 1874, the same Catholic Patriarch of Babylon, Joseph Oudo, sent another Syrian Bishop named John Elias Melius at the request of the people of Trichur. On 7th February, 1875, Bishop Melius published a proclamation, wherein he professed himself to have been sent out by the Patriarch with the permission of Pope Pius IX. Not before long, however, the people of Ollur got in reply to an enquiry by them an autograph letter of Pope Pius IX through the then Diwan of Cochin, the late Mr. T. Sankunny Menon. In this letter the Romo-Syrians of Malabar were commanded “ to give no heed to the falsehoods of Bishop Melius who by Our authority has been already excommunicated” . The faithful of the country were warned in the sHme letter that “ the Patriarch of Babylon holds no power or jurisdiction from Us over the churches and people of Malabar” . The autograph letter is dated 1st May, 1875, At the time of the proclamation of this document Bishop Melius bad under him about 60 churches in Travancore, Cochin and British Malabar, but most of them soon afterwards left Melius and returned to the true fold either under Verapoly or the Padroado, In the meantime an order was sent from Rome asking the Patriarch to recall Bishop Melius from India. The Patriarch obeyed this order at once, but Bishop Melius remained obdurate.

The efforts of the Holy See to end the Mellusan Sehism. In 1876 Dr. Leo Meurin, Bishop of Bombay, was sent to Malabar as Visitor Apostolic. Dr. Meurin visited several Romo-Syrian churches and made the people understand that Bishop Melius was an impostor. The Visitor Apostolic also opened negotiations with the party of Bishop Melius but with little immediate effect.

The departure of Bishop Melius. The Patriarch’s order recalling Melius was eventually obeyed in 1881, when the latter left India for good. He made T r i c h u r . 27

his reconciliation with the Patriarch, submitted to the Holy See anJ was placed in charge of his former diocese of Aera, in Chaldea, where he died. The Schism after Melius' departure. When Melius left Trichur, he placed his adherents in charge of a native priest named Thondanat Anthony and a Cor-episcopus named Augustine, a Chaldean priest who had accompanied Melius from Mosul. Thondanat Anthony was ordained priest in 1850 by Dr. Louis, Bishop of Verapoly. How he fell out with the European missionaries of Verapoly after his ordination, how he proceeded to Babylon and got hjmself consecrated Bishop by the Nestorian Patriarch and his subsequent history are detailed in the Travancore State Manual. Thondanat Anthony died in 1900. The Corepiscopus continued to preside over the dwindling remnants of the Schismatics, a very large number of them having in the meantime reverted to their old faith. The Corepiscopus died in 1910.

The origin of a separate church for the Syrian Catholics at Trichur i The Lourdes Church, A word about the present Lourdes Church seems called for in this connection. When Bishop Melius created this schism, only four families remained loyal to the old faith. At their request a small chapel was constructed in 1874 under the auspices of the late Dr. Leonard Mellano, Arch­ bishop oE Verapoly. The spiritual needs of this small congregation were attended to by priests from the Carmelite Monastery at Elthuruth. four miles to the west of Trichur, The number of parishioners of this chapel increasing every year, a separate site with a suitable building in it was pur­ chased close by. The religious services and functions were then transferred to the latter. It was since rebuilt and is now known as the Latin Church. One of the priests resident in the chapel for some years was a European Missionary. Polycarp by name, who about the year 1885, purchased a piece of land and built the present Lourdes Church on it. Bishop Medlycott, the first Vicar Apostolic of Trichur! arrived here in 1887. With some understanding with thè Archbishop of Verapoly the Lourdes Church was allowed to be used by Bishop Medlyeott as his Cathedral church. In 2 8 T r i c h u r .

1905 after negotiations with Rome the Lourdes Church and its premises were completely given over to the late Bishop John Menachery, Medlycott’s successor, on payment of a nominal price,

JElow a part of the congregation of the Church of Our Lady of JDolour8 turned “ Neatorian'. When the Cor-episcous was advancing in years, his people looked out for a successor to him. The Local Protest­ ants, both European and Indian, happened to get information of this matter. They approached the Schismatics with suggestions tha-t a bishop could be got down from Mar Simon, the Nestorian Patriarch of Babylon. Also a Protestaht gentleman named Ittiyera Chandy, a retired apothecary of the Cochin Medical service, came to Triebur from Kottayam. his native place, and resided iu the Church for about three months, The people were made to believe that the doctrines and practices of the church presided over by Mar Simon were the same as those oE the Church of Our Lady of Dolours, A faction of the parish placed reliance on this assurance and consented to open negotiations, with the Patriach. They had also interviews with the local Protestant Pastor, the late Rev. J, H. Bishop m. a. After some correspondence with Mar Simon, one Rev. Brown, belonging to the Canterbury Arch­ bishop’s mission in Assyria, came to Trichur and held long •conversations with the parishioners. A former application to Mar Simon asking for a bishop for their community was prepared in consultation with the Protestants. But it was signed by only a few of the parishioners. The rest kept aloof as their suspicion was roused by the gratuitous interference of the Protestants. In response to this requisition Mar Simon deputed in 1907 Mar Abimalek Timotheus to Trichur. Even before his arrival several churches had alread come back from schism to the Catholic faith, mostly of their own accord and in some cases through litigation. Consequently when Mar Abimalek Timotheus came to Trichur only two churches, namely the Church of Our Lady of Dolours and a small village church at Pattikad about 6 miles from Trichur acknowledged him as their bishop. On his arrival the bishop of course found that the doctrines and practices of the church were Roman Catholic. For a little over a year he kept quiet. Then gradually he began to preach his doctrines and to act independently of the Cor-episcopus. A certain Fr. T r ic h c r . 29

.John residing in tbe cburoh was interdicted by Mar Timotheus for baptising a heathen and bis wife on tbe plea tbat adults ought not to be baptised without tbe express permission of tbe bishop. Tbis event led to a civil suit ia 1909 in which Fr. John claimed damages for defamation to the extent of Rs. 1500 and be got a decree for Rs. 300- and costs and tbe decision was upheld by tbe Chief Court on appeal. In bis written statement filed in Court in tbis case Mar Timotheus stated among other things tbat “ tha allega­ tions in paras 3 and 4 of the plaint that I am attempting to establish Nestorian faith in the cburcb are false” ! Tbe deposition of Mar Abimalek Timotheus in connection with tbis case clearly shows bis creed as well as his Protestant connections. He does uot believe in transubstantiation nor in purgatory. He objects very strougly to tbe use of images, iuvocation'of saints and tbe celibacy of tbe clergy. He calls the Blessed Virgin Mary the Mother of Jesus and not of God and does not .acknowledge that tbe sacraments are seven in number. Owing to tbe doctrinal innovations which Mar Timotheus attempted to introduce in the church as his opponents considered them to be, the latter (who thencefor­ ward called themselves Independent Catholics) took legal steps in 1910 to get the bishop and his adherents restrained from having anything to do with the church. Oil the applica­ tion of tbe plaintiffs tbe court gave a temporary injunction pending the final disposal of the suit and appointed a receiver to look after the temporal affairs of tbe cburcb and its properties. By virtue of this injunction the defendants were ordered to have their religious services in tbe separate building, namely, a small cburcb about a mile off and subsidiary to the main one. It is needless to follow in detail the progress of this suit and its conclusion since tbey are still fresh in our memory. Suffice it to quote here a few extracts from the recorded evidence in the case which will give some insigbt into tbe character of the Bishop’s mission to Trichur. Extract from the judgment of the first Court :— “ From 1904 till 1903 there bad been a series of applications, and the correspoddence was carried on duriDg the major part of this period by the late Ittiyera Chandy (a native Protestant), a pensioned apothecary of this State, • as agent of tbe plaint church. Apothecary Chandy did not correspond with Mar Simon direct but approached the latter through two channels. 30 T r ic u u r .

He corresponded with Dr. Brown at Quidshanes through Rev. Palmer of Kottavam, and with Rev. Wigram at Van through Rev. Walsh at Trichinopoly. Rev. Brown and Rev. Wigram acted as agents of Mar Simon” . Extract from Rev. Walsh’s letter, dated, 15 July. 1905, to Mr, Tttiyera Chandy :— “ If the Trichur brethren are brought into living union with their brethren in Kurdistan and there­ by with the (Canterbury) Archbishop’s Assyrian Mission, they might, in God's mercy, become the rallying point for the present disintegrated parts of the Syrian community. Their historical claims on continuity would be a powerful lever towards unity and if they could of their own xnitintive free themselves of Roman errors and become h zealous Missionary Church full of the Holy Spirit, maintaining their freedom and independence, I should think the Reformed Syrians first and later on the Jacobites would be drawn to them by irresistible force. Then they would work as a sister Church to the Church of England and in communion with her for the great common purpose in the nvaugelisation of England. Eventually the Church of England might hand over her bodies of native Christians in that part of ludia and concentrate herself in other regions I gave our Bishop, Dr. Whitehead. Full particulars of the Chaldean Church when he was here and he was very much interested.” Extract from the deposition of the late Rev. J. H. Bishop :— “ Dr. Brown was sent here by the Archbishop of Canterbury in connection with the Christian Mission of which he was th« head ...... Mar Simon is by name a Nestorian but not by doctrine. I knew it from Dr. Wigram ...... I don’t know if Mar Simon comes under the designation Protestant. Personally I would call him a Protestant.” It is worthy of note iu this connection that Bishop Rocos came here 47 years and Bishop Melius 60 vears after the foundation of tha Church. On either occasion there lived numerous men in and out of Trichur w*>o had actually seen the Church being founded as Roman Catholic. The Cochin Census Report of 1874, the year of Bishop Melius’ arrival, when describing the town of Trichur, says, in page 19 of its Appendix, that *‘ the habitations of the Christians are in compact form collected in the vicinity of Romo-Syrian Church, from which run several streets.” Again on page 40 T r i c h u r . 31

of the Statistical table of the Cochin Census Report of 1880 the uumber of Roman Catholics in the Trichur District is given as 23,772, that of Protestants as 544, and of Jacobites as 445 and no other Christian denomination is mentioned in it. Sir William Hunter in his Imperial Gazetteer of India, writing of Trichur, says, “ The fortifications now out of repair were erected in 1774. The Zilla or District Court and Jail are here as well as a Roman Catholic Church and an establishment of the Church Missionary Society.” The Madras Catholic Directory of 1851 contains a list of the churches then uuder the Archbishop of Verapoly. The Trichur Church was then in hi? jurisdiction and finds a place in the list. The Cochin State Manual unhesitatingly calls the Church Romo—Syrian. Further, Rev. Whitebouse, for­ merly Pastor of British Cochin and Dr. Spencer, Bishop oE Madras, both Anglicans, happened to visit the church during the first half of the last century and bsve. in their well known books, testified to the church being Roman Catholic. In reply to a letter, dated 27th August, 1870, from the Diwan of Cochin to the Governor of Cranganore asking for detailed list of the churches uuder him, the latter wrote to Diwan under date, 9th November, 1870, giving cover to the list called for. Tue Trichur Church is included in it. Certified copies of these documents were obtainedt from the fluzur office and filed in the suit instituted by the Catholic parishioners, which will be referred to later on. A venerable old Romo-Syrian priest belonging to the diocese of the Bishop of Trichur who had said mass in the Trichur Church in his younger days while the Church was yet Catholic, is still alive. He has never been ‘ Nestorian ’ nor Protestant nor Jacobite till now. It is needless to labour this point since it is public property that the Church of Our Lady of Dolours at Trichur was originally founded as a Roman Catholic Church ; and there is no known historical work whatever stating to the contrary. The Church has now been finally declared to have been ‘ Nestorian’ all aloner. Among the members of the present ' Nestorian ’ families themselves there are numerous Homan Catholic laymen and a priest. Catholic efforts to Redeem the Church from Schism and Heresy. The first of these was made by Bishop Medlycott, first Vicar Apostolic of Trichur, who stood as the sole plaintiff in a 32 Ts i c h u r . civil suit instituted by him— and. to be brief, he lost the case. One of the issues laid down was whether the plaintifl had any locus standi, in other word« whether he was entitled to sue in respect of the Trust? And the issue was decided against him at any rate by the first Court although plaintiff’s counsel invited the attention of the Court to the Canon Law which l«y9 down that the Bishop is the administrator o£ the re­ venues of the Churches situated within his diocese. The next attempt was made by a body.of representative Catholic parishioners who instituted a similar suit, in which the present Independents and ' Nestorians ’ were joint defendants. In this case about 50 documents, among others, from the archives of the plaint church in the custody of the Receiver appointed by the Court, were produced in evidence which conclusively showed that the church was Roman Catholic, But the scope of inquiry was preliminarily narrowed down to the question as to whether the suit was not barred by the law of res judicata and it was decided that according to the Canon Law the Bishop alone is competent to sua in a matter like this and that becanse Bishop Medly- cott had already sued, the plaintiffs had no right to come in again and the suit was dismissed on this solitary ground.

Later Visitors to the Church. Sir Charles and Lady Todhunter visited the church two years ago and at a glance into the interior thereof exclaimed *' A purely Roman Catholic Cbnrch.” Two or three months before the announcement of the award the Arbitator in the Church case, Mr. C. W. E. Cotton C. I. E., I. C.S., Political Agent to the Governor-Geueral, Madras States, visited the church, saw the altars, the image of Our Lady of Dolours to whom the church is dedicated, the lighted candles, the Crucifix, all the statues of Saints and Angels in the Church, the image of the dead body of Christ which in taken in procession round the church after the Mass of the Pre-Sanctified on Good Friday, the vessels set in the walls containing Eoly water, the confessional, the pictures of the fourteen stations on the Via Crucis or the way of the cross, the list incribed on the wall of the names of certain deceased parishioners for whose souls Masses are said on stated dates, in short he had a close inspection of the church and its premises. T r i c h u r , 83

How the protracted litigation ended. In the result it has now been declared that “ tbe defend- ants-respoudents (Nestorians) representing the Yogakars are entitled to be in possession and enjoyment of plaint church and connected properties in trust for tbe worship of God according to the faitb, doctrines, practices and discipline observed by the first defendant, Mar Timotbeus.” It may be recalled here that one of tbe three Judges of tbe Cochin Chief Court found that the Church was Nestorian in character, another that it was Independent Catholic and tbe third that it was purely Roman Catholic.

* J. AELEN, Archbishop of Madras. MIXED MARRIAGES.

A * Mixed marriage ’ (that is, a marriage between a Catholic and one who, though baptised, does not profess the Catholic Faith), cannot take place without a dispensation from the Ordinary and the dispensation cannot lawfully be given unless for a sufficient grave reason and subject to the following conditions :— 1. That all the children that may be born of the marriage shall be baptised, and brought up in the Catholic Faith. 2. That the Catholic party shall have full liberty for the practice of the Catholic religion. 3. That no religious marriage ceremony shall take place elsewhere than in the Catholic Chursh. 4. That a written promise to observe the above con­ ditions shall be given by the non-Catholic party before marriage. The first condition is necessary becanse children, who are not brought up in the Catholic Faith, are brought up out of the only revealed way ot salvation. The justice and neces­ sity of the 2nd condition are evident. With regard to the 3rd condition, the Church teaches ; 1. That when the State re­ cognises no marriage as valid that does not take place before a Protestant minister, and when therefore the Protestant minister may in such respect be regarded as a civil functionary, Cathoiic may lawfully go through a form of marriage iu his presence for the purpose of obtaining a civil validity for their union, and of having their future offspring acknowledged as legitimate. 2. that when no such necessity of the civil law exists (as in India, vide Indian Christian Marriage Act, 1872), the marriage of a Catholic before a Protestant minister is a grave sin—as being a participation in the religious rites of those who are separated from the Catholic Church, and therefore a sacrilege, and (as the Holy See has declared) in implicit adhesion to heresy. Ma n n e r of r e c e iv in g . Protestants in the Catholic Church.

Profession of Faith. Creed of Pope Pius u V. I. N., ( Christian Name) with a, firm faith, believe and proEess all and every one oE those things which are contained in that Creed which the Holy Reman Church maketh use of, viz. :— I believe in onts God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God. begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father by whom all things were made. Who, for us men, ami for our salvation, came down from Heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. He was crucified also for us, under, Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father, and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead— of whose kingdom there shall be no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and life-giver who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who, together with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified ; who spoke by the Prophets. And I believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, and I confess one Baptism for the remission of sins : and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.— Amen. I most steadfastly admit and embrace the Apostolic and Ecclesiastical Traditions and all other observances and con­ stitutions of the same Church. I also admit the Holy Scripture, according to that sense which our Holy Mother the Church has held and does hold, to which it belongs to judge of tne true sense and inter­ pretation of the Scripures ; neither will I ever take and interpret them otherwise than according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers, M a n n e r o p R e c e i v i n g ;

I also profess that there are truly and properly Seven Sacraments of the New Law, instituted by Jesus Christ, Our Lord, and necessary for the salvation of! mankind, although not all of them necessary for every one, namely : Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Order and Matrimony, and that they confer grace; and that of these, Baptism, Confirmation and Order cannot be repeated without the sin of sacrilege. I also receive and admit the re­ ceived and approved ceremonies of the Catholic Church used in the solemn administration of the aforesaid Sacraments. I embrace and receive all and every one of the things which have been defined and declared in the Holy Council of Trent concerning original sin and justification. I profess likewise, that in thè Mass there is offered to God a true, proper, propitiatory Sacrifice for the living and the dead. And that in the most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist, there is truly, really and substantially the Body and Blood, together with the Soul and Divinity of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and that there is made a conversion of the whole substance of the Bread into the Body, and of the whole substance of the Wine into the Blood ; which conversion the Catholic Church calls Transubstantiation. I also confess that, under either kind alone, Christ is received whole and entire, and a true Sacrament. 1 steadfastly hold that there is a Purgatory, and that the souls therein detained are helped by the suffrages of the faithful. Likewise, that the saints reigning together with Christ are to be honoured and invoked, and that they offer prayers to God for us, and that their relics are to be held in veneration. I most firmly assert that the images of Christ, of the Mother of God ever Virgin, and also of other Saints, ought to be had and retained, and that due honour and veneration are te be given them. I also affirm that the power of granting Indulgences was left by Christ in the Church, and that the use of them is most wholesome to Christian people. I acknowledge the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church for the mother and mistress of all Churches, and I promise true obedience to the Bishop of Rome, Successor of St. Peter, Prince o£ the Apostles and Vicar of Jesus Chiral. M a n n e r o f R e c e i v i n g . 39

I likewise undoubtingly receive and profess all other things which the Sacred Canons and all General Councils, and particularly the Holy Council of Trent and the ^Ecume­ nical Vatican Council have believed, defined and declared, and, in particular, about the supremacy and infallible teach­ ing of the Roman Pontiff. And I condemn, reject and anathematise all things contrary thereto, and all heresies which the Church has condemned, rejected and anathema­ tised. I. N.. ( Christian Name), do at this present freely profess and sincerely hold this true Catholic Faith, out of which no one can be saved. And I promise most constantly to retain and confess the same entire and unstained, with God’s assistance, to the end of my life.

A Shorter From of Profession of Faith, I. N.., (N am e), son (or daughter) oE (name and surname of the father), born in (place of birth and whether married or single), kneeling before you, Rev. Father, duly authorised by the Bishop of (Bishopric) having before my eyes the Gospels whieh I touch with my hand, and knowing that no one can be saved without that faith which the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church holds, believes and teaches, against which I grieve that I have greatly erred, inasmuch as I have held and believed doctrines opposed to her teaching. I now, enlightened by Divine Grace to see my past errors, profess that I believe the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church to be the only true Church established on earth by Jesus Christ, to which I submit myself with my whole heart. I believe all the articles that she proposes to my belief and I reject all the articles that she rejects aud condemns and I am ready to observe all that she commands me, and especia­ lly I profess that I believe.— One only God in three Divine Persons, distinct from and equal to each other— that is to say, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. The Catholic doctrine of the incarnation, Passion, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ; and the personal union of the two Natures, the divine and the humnn, the divine Maternity of the most Holy Mary, together with her Immaculate Conception aud most spotless Virginity, 40 M a n n e r o f R e c e i v i n g ,

The true, real and substantial presence of the Body and Blood, together with the Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. The seven Sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ for the salvation of mankind ; that is to say, Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Extreme-Unction, Order and Matrimony. Purgatory, the Resurrection of the dead and everlasting life. The Primacy, not only of honour, but also of jurisdiction of the Roman Pontiff, Successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, Viear of Jesus Christ. The veneration of the Saints and of their images. The authority of the Apostolic and Ecclesiastical Tradi­ tions, and of the Holy Scriptures which we must interpret, and understand only in the sense which our Holy Mother the Catholic Church has held, and does hold, And everything else that has been defined and declared by the Sacred Canons, and by tlie General Councils, especial­ ly by the Holy Council of Trent, and by the (Ecumenical Vatican Council. With a sincere heart, therefore, and with unfeigned be­ lief, I detest and abjure every error, heresy and sect opposed to the said Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Roman Church. So help me, God, and these His Holy Gospels which I touch with my hand.

A VERY SHORT FORM OF PROFESSION OF FAITH TO BE USED ONLY IN CASE OF VERY GRAVE AND URGENT NECESSITY. Theologians teach that in case of an urgent necessity, as of grave illness, a short, comprehensive form may be used. The following is an example : — I, N., ( Christian Name), do sincerely and solemnly de­ clare that, having been brought up in the Protestant religion (or other religion as the case may be), but now, by the grace of God, having been brought to the knowledge of Truth, I firmly believe and profess all that the Holy Catholic and Roman Church believes and teaches and I reject and condemn what­ ever she rejects and condepaos. M a n n e r o f R e c e i v i n g , 41

M o d e o f R e c e p t i o n . The Priest authorised by the Bishop sits on a chair and the person to be received kneels before him and reads the above Profes­ sion o f Faith, touching toith his right hand the Gospel. Then the Psalm Miserere, or De profundis, is recited, ending, with Gloria Patri. After this the Priest rises and says : Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison—Pater noster. V. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. R. Sed libera nos a malo. V. Salvura fae famulum tuum ( vel iamulam tuam) Domine. R, Deus meus sperantem in Te. V- Domine exaudi orationem meam. R, Et elamor meus ad Te veniat. V. Dominus vobiscum. R. Et eum spiritu tuo,

Or e m u s . Deus eui proprium est misereri semper et paroere, Te suppliees depreeamur ut hunc famulum tuum («#i banc famulam tuam) quem (vel quam) excommunications catena constringit, miseratio tuae pietatis dementer absolvat. Per Christum, etc.

(H e r e t h e P r i e s t s i t s a n d s a t s .) Auctoritate Apostoüca qua fungor in hac parte absolvo te a vineulo Excommunicationis quam incurristi, et restituo te sacrosanctis ecclesiae Sacramentis, eommunioni et unitati Üdelium, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Saneti.— Amen. (The priest enjoins a salutary penance consisting of a prayer or visit to a church or the like. Then the Baptism, under condition, ii administered, when needful to do so, and conditional absolu­ tion is given after a full coufession of sins shall have been made.)

6 Part II.—Territorial Units

ARCHDIOCESE OF GOA. i Historical Notes : After the new route to India had been discovered by Vasco da Gama, the first care of the Kings of Portugal was to spread the Catholic Faith throughout India. This is e v id e n ce d by the fact that on board A d m ira l Gama’s fleet there were some monks among whom B\ Pedro de Covilham, a Trinitarian who was killed at Calicut. In 1500 with the second fleet, commanded by Peter Alvares Cabral, came some Franciscan Friars, with Fr. Henry de Coimbra as Superior. They were the first Portiguese Missionaries who settled in India, and who undertook the conversion of the Hindus. Angediva island, near Karwar, supplied the first neophytes, twenty-three of them being bap­ tised after the first Mass had been said in the Island. Subsequently more conversions were made at Cochin, Calicut, Cannanore, Quilon, etc. These Indian Christians, as well as the Portuguese who settled down in India, were administered by the Superiors of the Francisean Missionaries. Shortly after, these were followed by Dominicans and other orders. By Pontifical agreement the management of the new Christian Stations established by the Portuguese was under the care of the Military Order of Christ with head-quarters in Thomar, whose Prelate (Bishop) governed spiritually the Order, the Prelacy nuilius of Thomar and the new dominions of the Portuguese Crown. Soon after the conquest of Goa by Alfonso de Albuquerque, November 25, 1510, St. Catherine’s Day, the Church of St. Catherine of Goa was erected in memory of the victory, with a eertain number of porcionarios (somewhat approaching the function of Canons), governed by Freire (Friar) of the Order of Christ, primordial head of a more regular ecclesiastical jurisdiction in India. At the request of the King, D, Emmanuel I. Pope Leo X, by Ap. Letter, dated June 7, J541, confirmed all the privi­ leges of jurisdiction of the ftbQve-gaid miliiary Order of G o a . 43

Christ over all the provinces and lands discovered and to be discovered from Cape Bojader to India. At that time Bishops were sent to India by tbe King as Great Master of the Order of Christ, for consecrating the Holy Oils, etc. Four or five of these Bishops passed through India from 1515 till 1535. As the Portuguese Indian possessions increased at the request of the King, D. John III, Pope Clement VII, in private consistory of January 31, 1533. erected the Ecc. Province of Funchal (Madeira), giving it as Suffragans the Bishopric of Sancti Jacobi (Cabo Verde), Sancti Thomae (Island) Goa and Sancti Michaelis (Azores). The erection of the Bishopric of Goa dates from this time. The church of St. Catherine being raised to the rank of a Cathedral, D.

Secular Clergy.

Historical Notes. The Diocese was erected by the Concordat of June 23. 1886, concluded between the Holy See and the Kiug of Portugal.

The whole of the territory including British and Portuguese parts belonged to the Archdiocese of Goa. To govern the British territory there was in Bombay a Vicar-General of the Archbishop of Goa, whose jurisdiction extended from the Portuguese frontier of Damaun in the North to Korlay (Chaul) in the Island of Caranja (Kolaba Dt.) in the South, and bounded on the West by the Arabian Sea, the Western Ghats forming the greater part of the Eastern boundary. It was divided into four districts : Island of Bombay, Salselte or Thana, Bassein and Poona. The district of Poona passed on to the Diocese of Poona, excepting only one church in the town of Poona, which remains, with extraordinary jurisdiction attached to the Archdiocese of Goa. The other three districts belong to the Diocese of Damaun. Its northern boundary is the river Narbada. Cath.

SAN THOME OF MYLAPORE.

(Diocesan Clergy.) • I Historical Notes.

This historical Diocese was erected by Pope Paul V, by the Consistorial Allocution o£ January 9, 1606, at the request oE Philip II, King of Portugal. The Diocese takes its double name from the old town of Meliaporor Mylapore, which was, as it is yet, always a Brahmiu town, and the adjacent European settlement of San Thome, so called because, the body of the Apostle St. Thomas was buried here—eo quod corpus ejusden Sancti Thomae ibi requiescret. The Diocese originally formed a part of that of Cochin from which it was subsequently separated and made to comprise Bengal, the Coromandel Coast, Orissa and ancient Pegu. Accord­ ing to the Concordat of June 23, 1886, and the subse­ quent Reversal Notes, the Diocese at present consists of two sections of continuous territory, while besides, the Bishop of Mylapore exercises ordinary jurisdiction over several churches and congregations scattered over Southern India and Bengal. The more important of these sections of continuous territory is bounded on the East by the Bay of Bengal, on the North by the Edward Elliot’s Road and St. George's Cathedral Road in the City of Madras ; on the West by the road leading from Madras to Conjeeveram, in the Chingleput District; and on the South by the river Palar. The other section is bounded on the East, again by the Bay B engal; on the North by the rivers Vettar and Vennar ; on the South by the civil district of Madura and the boundaries of Alangudi and Tirumayam ; and on the West by the Taluq of Kollatur, in the State of Pudukottah and the Civil district of Trichinopoly. Catholics 88,623. Catechumens 385. Population about 2,000,000. 84 M*l a £ o r e .

E a r l y H i s t o r y . The local tradition is that the Apostle St. Thomas was martyred at Tbomas’ Mount and interred at old Myla- pore which lies buried under San Thome ; and that there was a succession of Bishops at old Mylapore and in Malabar, till the time of a great persecution— the revival of Brahmanism — when the Bishops and the priests, together with a large number of Catholic*, having been put to death, the remnant fled to the mountain ranges that separate Malabar from the east of Southern India ; and the episcopal succession being interrupted, when tbe last of their priests died out they continued to keep up their faith by certain religious practices and surreptitious visits to the grave of St. Thomas, rendered possible by old Mylapore having been partially overwhelmed by the sea, when the Brahmins deserted it and founded the present Mjlappre,

Much of this is supported by eojlateral evidence, and will point to a church of some sort having existed on the side where the Apostle was buried. And .indeed, to tbe early Mahommadan Arab navigators, old Mylapore was not known as Mylapore - but as Betumah, i.e., house, church or town of St. Thomas, S$n Thome. It is this church that the Ambas­ sadors of Alfred the Great, King of England, are supposed to have visited in A.D. 883.

Howbeit it is an historical fact that the subsequent revival of Christianity in India was due to Persian merchants, in whose wake their Nestorian clergy followed. Thus it happened than when Marco Polo visited the place in the thirteenth century and later on the blessed Oderic de Bardone there was a community of Nestorian Christians at San Thome, a chapel over tbe tomb of St. Thomas and a Nestorian monastery on the hill at St- Thomas’ Mount.

AH of these institutions fell into disrepair by the end of the 16th century, when Mar Elias, the Nestojriac Bishop of Malabar, made a futile appeal to have them repaired. (Bul- larium Patronatus.) Hence when the Portuguese Commission appointed by desire of King. John III of Portugal to search for the counterpart of the Ortona Relics of St, Thomas, £eiwjhe£} Sfi:n , Thome . in 1523, it found nothing but a heap of ruins. This was reported to the Viceroy, D. Duarte . Meneaes, MiLAPQRB. 85 who ordered the chapel to be rebuilt. It wets while the found­ ations for thjsrchapel were being dug, ¡that the Portuguese stumbled on tbe grave of the Apostle and the Relics tbey had sought for. Presently the hermits of St. Augustine established a Priory in San Thome and took charge of the Grave of the Apostle, St. Thomas, adjoining which they built a small church. This church was made the Parish church of San Thome iu 1558, when the Diocese of Cochin was erected and comprehended San Thome. Hence the Parish Priest of San Thome is still called “ The Prior,” It was this church again that was made the Cathedral on the creation of the Diocese of San Thome in 1666. It was subsequently extended. The original chapel of the Grave, the adjoining Augusti- nian church and its extension, just spoken of, stood intact till 1863 when Mgr. Reed da Silva pulled them down, together with the Old Priory, for the purpose of building the present Gothic Cathedral on their site. His Lordship had the pleasure of completing the new Cathedral and of having it consecrated by H. H. Mgr. Valente, the Patriarch of the East Indies, on May 10, 1896. The Diocese was consecrated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus on the ¡¿2nd June 1900. The Tricentenary of the Diocese was celebrated with great solemnity on January 9, 1906, tbe Delegate Apostolic and 16 Bishops gracing the occasion with their presence. On this occasion Dr. Theotonius de Castro, the present Bishop, had tbe fosse of the Grave of St. Thomas unlarged, and faced with beautiful marble, to enable pilgrims to have access to the bottom of the grave and to enable M.-tsses to be celebrated immediately over the Grave, accordiag to the practice of the early Christians. In January, 1912, the 4tb Eueharistic Congress in Tndia was held at San Thome in which fourteen Bishops took'part.

I Historical Notes. The Archdiocese includes the Island of Bombay and the districts of Grujerat (North of the Nurbudda), Kathiawar, Cutch, Sind and Baluchistan up to Cabul aud the Punjab ; besides six places within the circumscription of the Diocese of Damaun. It is bounded on the West by the Arabian sea, on the South by the Diocese of Damaun, on the East and North-East by the Dioceses of Lahore and Ajmer, on the North by Cabul and Prefecture Apostolic of Kashmir. Catholics.—Under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Bombay :—Bombay Island 13,277 ; Salsette 3,059 ; Grujerat, Kathiawar, etc., 6,871 ; Sind 8,197. Total 31,361, Parochial population.

E a r l y H is t o r y . In the year 1637 Mathews de Castro Male, of the Brahmin caste, was appointed Vicar Apostolic of the Deccan. To the Vicariate of the Deccan were added in 1645 the kingdoms of Golconda and Pegu. But as the latter kingdom was very remote, it was in 1669 separated from the above Vicariate, and in its place was substituted the region known as the Kingdom of the great Mogul, by which name the Vicariate was afterwards called. The Mission then had two Vicars of the Institute of St, Philip Neri, both of the Brahmin caste. In 1696 its government was committed to the Discaloed Carmeiites. In the year 1720 for political reasons, the English expelled the Portuguese clergy from Bombay, and offered the 118 B om bay,

Mission to the Vicar of the Great Mogul who, with the approbation of the Holy See, took charge of it in the same year. The Vicariate then began gradually to assume the name of Bombay. Of this Vicariate the northern part was annexed to the Mission of Tibet in 1784. Between 1850 and 1854 the Mission was administered by the Capuchins. Then Pope Pius IX on 8th March 1854, divided the Vicariate of Bombay in two, namely, the Northern or Bombay, and the Southern or Poona Vicariates, entrusting the Bombay District to the Capuchin Fathers and the Poona District to the Society of Jesus. Four years later, on the renunciation of the Northern Mission by the Capuohins, this portion also was given over to the Soeiety of Jesu3 by a decree of the Sacred Congregation, 18th August 1858. and formed into one Mission. The two Vicariates remained distinct, but Poona was administered by the Vicar Apostolic of Bombay.

The Jesuits—Province of Venice and Diocesan Glergy. I Historical Notes. The Diocese of Calicut was erected by a Papal decree of June 12, 1923. Its territory consists of the District of Malabar, North of the Ponani river, excluding the Palgliat Taluq and that portion of the Walluvanad Taluq, which is situated on the eastern side of the watershed formed by the Western Ghauts. With the exception of the Wynaad Taluq, which was detached from the Diocese of Mysore, and of the Walluvanad Taluq, detached from the DioCese of Coimbatore, the territory which forms the Diocese of Calicut was originally part of the Diocese of Mangalore. Christianity was introduced in this part of Malabar at a very early date, but while it soon struck deep roots and flourished in Cochin and Travancore, South of the Ponnani river, we have no record of well-established Christian communities North of that river, except in the sea-coast towns of Calicut, Mahe, Tellicherry and Cannanore where Portugal and other European nations had formed trading settlements. In the interior of the District, with the excep­ tion of the Wynaad Taluq, there are only a few scattered Catholics. Mahe is under the Jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Pondicherry^ Catholics : 8,438. Patron of the Diocese.—St. Francis Xavier.

Diocesan Clergy. Historical Notes. The Diocese of Mangalore comprises the civil District of South Kanara. It is bounded on the North by the Arch­ diocese of Goa, on the South by the diocese of Calicut, on the East by the Diocese of Mysore and on the West by the Arabian Sea. E a r l y H i s t o r y , It is not known when Christianity was first introduced into Kanara, The Franciscan Missionaries who accompanied the Portuguese expeditions to India came to Malabar, and it is not unlikely that Kanara which lies so close to Malabar formed part oE their apostolic field of labour. The opening of XVI century brought Kanara many Portuguese settlers ; these were soon followed by several Catholic families that emigrated into Kanara from Goa. In 1660, Kanara was relieved of Goan jurisdiction, and Fr. Thomas de Castro, a Theatine, was appointed Vicar Apostolic of Kanara and Malabar. On the death of Mgr. Thomas de Castra, in 1684, Kanara once again passed under Goan jurisdiction and remained so till 1838. In 1838, Pope Gregory XVI again separated Kanara from Goa, and the Vicar Apostolic of Ver^poly exercised jurisdiction over it. In February 1815, in answer to repeated supplications made by the Catholics of Kanara to the Holy See, Kanara was erected into a new Vicariate with jurisdiction also over that portion of Malabar extending as far as the river Ponani, and Mgr. Bernardine of the Carmelite Order was appointed Pro-Vicar Apostolic of Mangalore. Though raised to a Vica­ riate, Mangalore still remained under the control of Vera- poly, and it was only on March 12, 1853, that it was definitely separated from Verapoly and formed a separate administration with Bishop Michael Antony of St. Louis Gon- zaga, a Carmelite, as its first Vicar Apostolic. He was consecrated May 15, 1853, in Bombay by Bishop Hartmann. 132 Ma n g a l o r e .

Bishop Michael Antony resigned his See in 1870, and was succeeded by Bishop Mary Ephrem Garrelon of the Sacred Heart of Jesús, o . c . d . After the death of Bisbop Mary Ephrem, April 10, 1873, the Vicariate was administered by Father Paul Joseph Vidal of the Sacred Heart, for a period of 3 years when it was again placed under Verapoly. In Sep­ tember 27, 1878, Pope Leo XIII transferred the Vicariate of Mangalore from the Carmelite Fathers to the Jesuits of the Province of Venice. Father Nicholas Mary Pagani, s . j ., o f the Bombay Mission was appointed Pro-Vicar Apostolic. Mgr. Pagani was subsequently nominated Bishop of Tricornia and Vicar Apostolic of Mangalore on February 2L, 1885. Mangalore continued to be a Vicariate until January 27, 1887, when, by virtue of the Apostolic Letter “ Humanae Salutis Auctor," it was raised to the dignity of a Diocese, with Nicholas Mary Pagani, s.j., as its first Bishop. By an Apostolic Brief, dated October 2, 1883, the Diocese of Mangalore was made suffragan to Bombay. Bishop Pagani died on April 30, 1895, and was succeeded by Abundius Cavadini, S .J ., who was nominated Bishop on December 2, 1895. Bishop Cavadini was consecrated in Bergamo, Italy, on June 28, 1896. He died on March 26, 1910, and was succeeded on August 17 by Mgr. Paul Perini, S.J. Mgr. Perini was consecrated on December 4 of the same year, in the Cathedral of Mangalore,

On June 12, 1923, the diocese of Mangalore was divided, and the district of Malabar was formed into the new diocese of Calicut. Mgr. Paul Perini was transferred to the new diocese as its first Bisbop and the diocese of Mangalore was entrusted to its own diocesan clergy. Mgr. Joseph Pais who was nominated administrator Apostolic of the diocese of Mangalore having declined, the See fell vacant until October 13, when Mgr. Perini, s . j ., the Bishop of Calicut, was appointed Administrator Apostolic of Mangalore.

For purposes of ecclesiatical ndministration, the Diocese is divided into four districts: the Northern, the Southern, the Eastern and the Western, each presided over by a Vicar Forane. The districts in turn are sub-divided into parishes,

The Jesuits, Toulouse Province and Diocesan Clergy. I Historical Notes. The Diocese of Trichinopoly is enclosed by the following Dioceses: N. Kumbakonam and Coimbatore; N. W. Coimbatore ; E. Tuticorin, W. Verapoly and Quilon, with the Western Ghauts lying between ; N. E., Mylapore, It reaches the sea on the East near the island of Pamban. After the evangelisation of the Pearl Fishery Coast, chiefly by St. Francis Xavier in the 1st half of the 16th century, some converts of the coast came to Madura, and in 1594 the Portuguese Jesuit Father G. Fernandez settled in their midst ; yet for want of a suitable method of Apostolate the Tamil hinterland remained untouched all through the 16th century. 1. The Ancient Madura Mission (1606—1780),— Taught by sad experience, the Italian Jesuit Father Robert de Nobili worked out in Madura his celebrated " accommodation method ” in opposition to the then current procedure. He scored a remarkable success in spite of many trials. Gradually the Madura Mission spread from Madura over almost one-third of the Madras Presidency and gavé birth to the Mysore Mission in 1688 and to the renowned Carnatic Mission of the French Jesuits in 1702. The Madura Mission itself was worked by Portuguese, French and Italian Jesuits as members of the province of Cochin down to, and even after to suppression of the Society in 1773. The ancient Madura Mission counts two martyrB : Venerable A. Criminale, martyred in 1549, Blessed John Britto, martyred in 1734. 2. Period of Transition (1773—1836).—Former Jesuit Fathers, Indian secular priests, and after 1776, members of the Paris Foreign Missions took charge of the far scattered Catholic communities. By and by the Archdioceses of Madras and Pondicherry, the dioceses of Coimbatore, Kumbakonam, Mylapore and even Hyderabad incorporated parts of the 148 TRieSlttOtOLt.

Ancient Madura and Carnatic Missions. But there was an extreme scarcity of Priests and little, if any, progress could be made. 3. The Modern Diocese of Trichinopoly.—At the request of Bishop Augustus Hebert of Pondicherry, Pope Gregory XVI confided the “ Vicariate Apostolic of Madura ” again to the Society of Jesus. In 1838 four French Jesuit Fathers came to Trichinopoly, the forerunners of several hundred Missionary volunteers of later days.

The subsequent history may be told in three chapters : — (a) (1838—1861) A severe conflict of jurisdiction between the Padroado clergy and the Fathers sent by the Pope led to a concordat signed in 1857 and published in 1861. Mean­ while (6) (1846— 1886), the Mission developed as the Apostolic Vicariate of Madura, under Alexis Canos, S .J ., consecrated Bishop in 1847. (c) (1886—1923) In 1886 the first Vicar Apostolic became also first residential Bishop of the new Diocese of the Trichinopoly. In 1893, in execution of a new concordat with Portugal, the Diocesa handed over 21,000 Catholics along with 130 churches and chapels in Tanjore to the restored Diocese of Mylapore. Finally in 1923, the southern half of the Palamcottah ecclesiastical district with 190 churches and chapels and 64,000 Catholics, became the new diocese oE Tuticorin. Actual population,—About 6 millions. Catholics :—223,000 besides some 8 thousand more who belong to one or other of the 8 exempted churches under the jurisdiction of Mylapore.

Patron o f the Diocese.—The Immaculate Conception B.M.V. ; The Diocese is divided ecclesiastically into 3 districts : Trichinopoly, Madura and Palamcottah. presided over by a Vicar Forane.

(Diocesan ClergyJ I Historical Notes. Tuticorin was erected into a separate Diocese by dismem­ berment from Trichinopoly by a Brief of Pius XI of June 11, 1923, and confided to the Diocesan Clergy. The diocese is bordered on the East by the Pearl Fishery Coast along which it extends from Cape Comorin in the South to very near the Pamban Island on the North. Ou the West, the Cardamon Hills separate it from the Quilon Diocese. On the North, it is contiguous to the Trichinopoly Diocese. The past of this diocese falls into three periods:— 1. The Portuguese Jesuit Mission (1542-1780).—First among the Tamil people to join the Church were the Paravas on the Pearl Fishery Coast from Cape Comorin to Pamban Island. In 1534, when Vaz de Amaral, Captain of Cochin, sent his fleet round the Cape, 11 Franciscans also landed, and soon baptised some twenty thousand people. Yefc no priest settled on the Coast until, in 1542, St. Francis Xavier came from Goa and, for two years, carried on his ever memorable Apostolate. He baptised eight or ten thousand people, mostly children ; above all, he catechised the whole caste with won­ derful success. After him, for over two hundred years, there were always eight or ten Portuguese, Italian or French Jesuit Missionaries residing on the Coast, even during the hard Dutch rule (1647-1734) and even after the suppression of the Society of Jesus. A letter of 1780 still mentions eight stations manned by former Jesuits. 2. The Indian Secular clergy (1780-1838).—As the Fathers died out, they were replaced by a few priests sent by the Bishops of Cochin and Cranganore. 3. The French Jesuit Mission (1838-1923).— For more than eighty years, the Fishery Coast formed part of the Diocese of Trichinopoly and has no history of its own. But in 1923, an area and a Catholic population twice greater than those of the former Mission of the Fishery Coast were marked off into a new diocese. Trichinopoly handed over to it besides 21 162 T u t i o o r i n .

one Jesuit member as its first Bishop, also 30 of its Indian secular priests along with 190 churches and chapels, 290 villa­ ges and a Cath. 64,000 made up mostly of ancient Parava Catholics and more recent Nadar converts. There are 6 exempted churches under Mylapore jurisdic- tion with a Catholic population of— Population ; About 2 millions. Cath. 70,252. Patron of the Diocese : The Sacred Heart of Jesus.

(The Congregation of the Holy Cross.) I Historical Notes. The Vicariate Apostolic of Bengal was erected in 1834, and by a Papal decree, February 15, 1850, the Vicariate Apostolic of Eastern Bengal was separated from it. The original territory of this Vicariate was curtailed by the establishment of the Prefecture Apostolic of Centra! Bengal in 1870 and again by the establishment of the Prefecture Apostolic of Assam in 1889. At present, it comprises the districts of Dacca, Backerganj, Mymensingh, Pubna, Noakhali, Tipperah, Chittagong together with the indepen­ dent Raj of Hill Tipperah and the Province of Arakan in Burma. The last named was annexed in the delimitation of 1870. It was constituted a Diocese under the Hierarchy in 1886. It is bounded on the North by the Prefecture Apostolic of Assam, on the East by the Vicariates of Northern and South­ ern Burma, on the South by the Bay of Bengal and on the West by the Bay of Bengal and the Diocese of Krishnagar. Population : 18,123,300. Catholics 17,730 exclusive of those under the jurisdiction of Mylapore.

(The Society of Foreign Missions, M ilan.) I Historical NoteB. In 1855. at the request of thu Archbishop Carew, Vicar Apostolic of Western Bengal, the Congregation of Propaganda sent out throe Missionaries from the Seminary of St. Caloeero of Milan, who laboured io six of the Districts of the Vicariate of Western Bengal : Jessore, Nadia, Bajshahi, Moorshedabad, Bogra, Malda and part of the Sunderbunds, which were provisionally united in 1855 under the name of Central Bengal. This Mission was created a Prefecture Apostolic in 1870, when the Provinces of Bootan and Assam as also the districts of Dinajpur, Cooch Behar, Rangpur and Faridpur were added to the original Mission of 1855, and Father Marietti, then in Italy, was nominated in 1870 to be the first Prefect Apostolic. On the resignation of Father Marietti, the Very Rev. F. Pozzi, of the Vicariate Apostolic of Hyderabad, was nominated Prefect Apostolic in April 1879.

It was constituted a Diocese under the Hierarchy in 1886. In 1889 the provinces of Bootan and Assam were made over to the Prefect Apostolic of Assam. Bishop.

It is bounded on the North by the district of Darejeeling and the Prefecture Apostolic of Assam, on the East by the Diocese of Dacca, on the South by the Bay of Bengal and the District of 24 Pargannas and on the West by the Arch­ diocese of Calcutta.

(The Jesuits, Missouri Province and Diocesan Clergy.)

I Historical Notes. The Diocese oE Patna was erected by a Papal decree oE September 10, 1919. The Diocese includes the whole oE the Eormer Prefecture of Nepal, and the eastern part of the Diocese of Allahabad lying to the South oE the Ganges, viz., all tbe districts oE North and Sontb Behar (except the two districts of Purneah and oE the Santal Pargannahs), the whole of Nepal and a small strip of about 80 square miles in the Darjeeling district. Area 126,000 square miles, Population: 25 millions.

Catholics: 6,225.

E a r l y H i s t o r y .

The history oE the Diocese may be said to begin in 1620, when the Fathers o£ the Society of Jesus came to Patna at the invitation of the Nawab. Little is known of the subse­ quent history of this first attempt at evangelization at Patna. In 1626 we find Jesuit Missionaries working in Tibet. Some 70 years later the mission of Tibet was entrusted by the S Congreg. De Propaganda to the Capuchin Fathers, and in 1704, Rev. Fr. John Francis de Camerino was appointed tbe first Prefect of tbe Thibetan Mission, The territory of the Prefecture seems to have included not only Tibet and Nepal, but also an extensive part of the Northern India from the Punjab to the Vicariate of Calcutta. In 1745 tbe Mis­ sionaries were compelled to leave Lhassa and Tibet: they continued their Apostolate in Nepal and opened a Dew Mis­ sion at Bettiah. When some twenty years later, in 1769, the Fathers had to withdraw from Nepal on account of the politi­ cal unrest prevailing in that country, tbe Prefect of the Mis­ sion chose Patna as the place of his residence. p A ÍtiíA . ISO

As far back as 1713 a substantial church and a residence for Missionaries had been erected in the town of Patna. But in 1763 the church had been all but destroyed by the soldiers of the Nawab. The Prefect, Rev. Fr. Joseph a Roveto, decided to demolish the ruined building and replace it by a larger church. In 1772 he laid the foundation of the fine and spacious church that stands still to-day though practically unused for divine service, on account of its isolation in the Mahomedan quarter of Patna. Patna remained the Headquarters; of the Mission until 1820. In that year the Vicariate Apostolic of Agra was erected, and to it were given all the territories formerly under the Prefects of Tibet and Nepal. In 1.84.5 Patna was detached from Agra and made into a separate Vicariate, the saintly Dr. A. Hartmann being appointed the 1st Vicar Apostolic. Four Vicars Apostolic in succession ruled the Vicariate which extended from Allahabad to Darjeeling. In 1871 Dr. Tosi transferred the residence from Patna to Allahabad, where a magnificent Cathedral had been erected. In 1886, on the establishmect of the Hierarchy in India, the Vicariate was raised to the dignity of a bishopric, and Dr. Pesci, the hist Vicar Apostolic of Patna, took the title of Bishop of Allahabad. Six years later the districts of North Bibar, i.e., Champa­ ran, Saran, Muzafferpur, Darbhanga and parts of the districts of Bbagalpur and Monghyr were separated from the Diocese of Allahabad and became the Prefecture Apostolic of Bettiah. The new Prefecture was entrusted to the Capuchins of North Tyrol (Austria ) and made suifragan to the Archdiocese of Agra. In 1893 the Kingdom of Nepal, hitherto subject to the Diocese of Allahabad, was added to the territory of the new Prefecture which then became the Prefecture A postolic of Bettiah and Nepal. In 1906, a strip of the Darjeeling District was transferred from the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Calcutta to the jurisdiction of the Prefect Apostolic. At the outbreak of the war in 1915, the Austrian Fathers had to leave the Mission, and the Sacr. Congreg. de Propa­ ganda appointed Rev. Fr. Felix. O.C., of the Lahore Diocese Administrator Apostolic of Prefecture. Finally in 1919 was published the decree erecting the new Diocese of Patna, entrusting it to the Fathers of the Society of Jesus, and making it suffragan to the Archdiocese of Calcutta. iü ü P a î n à ,

EARLY HISTORY.

1 . T h e M a d r a s M i s s i o n . From the year 1606 the districts covered by the present Archdiocese of Madras belonged to the Padroado See of St. Thomae. In 1042, the French Capuchins started a Mission in Madras which was erected into a Prefecture Apostolic under Propaganda. The Capuchins built the Cathedral “ St. Mary of the Angels,” Armenian Street, in 1775 and St. Andrew’s, Vepery. This mission was kept up by the same order until the substitution of a Vicariate Apostolic in 1832, which was confided to the Irish Missionaries in 1834. It was raised to an Archiépiscopal See in 1886. The Vicariate of Madras was at first very extensive, but was T e d u e e d by the erection of new vicariates : those of Vizagapatam in 1849 ann Hyderabad in 1851.

2 . T h e T e l u g u M i s s i o n .

1st period, 1601-1640.— The first serious attempt at con­ verting the Telugus was made in 1601 at Chandragiri, the capital of the Raja of Vijianagar. Fr. Francis Ricci, s.J., an eminent theologian and skilled linguist, who was well versed in both the Tamil and Telugu languages was the founder of that Mission. He was assisted by another Jesuit priest and a lay-brother skilled in the art of painting. This foundation was strongly favoured by the Raja who not satis­ fied with giving the missionaries land for a residence and a chapel free of charge, also contributed a yearly subsidy of 300 pardaos (450 shillings) for their maintenance. Fr. Ricci translated into Telugu the prayers and the catechism and added a few points of controversy. A school for caste children was also opened which attracted numerous pupils, and for the use of which Fr. Ricci wrote a summary, accom­ panied with a refutation of the fables of the Puranas. M a d r a s . 199

At the invitation of the Raja, another residence was started at Vellore. Nevertheless years passed, no conver­ sions occurred. It was only in 1601 that 6 immigrants received baptism. Fr. Antony Rubino, a future martyr in Japan, reached Chandragiri in 1607. In 1609 he wrote the following to his Provincial : From the time this mission was founded till now, only 15 have been made Christiaus, and they are the dregs of society. Their lives are so scandalous that I have resolved not to baptize any other. And he entreated his superior to be allowed to go away to some other place.

2nd period, 1640-1800.— In July 1607 F. Robert de Nobili, S.J., had begun at Madura new method of missionary work by adapting himself to the ways of Bramin Sanyassis. Between 1640 and 1688, other Jesuits, on the same line, began to spread the Gospel in the Kingdoms of Gingee, Vellore and Golconda. In 1704 the Mission of the Karnatic was separated from the Madura Mission and confided to the French Jesuits who had been driven away from Siam. It received half the Kingdom of Gingee, the Kingdoms of Vellore and Golconda and over 5;000 Catholics. In 1759, the number of Catholics in the Karnatic Mission alone had risen to 30,000. In 1773 after the suppression of the Society of Jesus, ex-Jesuits remained in the Karnatic Mission alone or united to the Missionaries of the Paris Foreign Missions Society to whom the Jesuit Missions were confided in 1776.

3rd period, 1800-1835.— As the ex-Jesuits gradually died out, the Telugu Missions were partly deserted. A few Capuchins, Carmelites and Theatines with some priests from Goa kept up some more important stations, but nothing was done in the way of Missionary work.

4th period, 1835 downwards.— The number of Telugu Catholics living in Madras, Hyderabad and Vizagapatam in the year 1835 is estimated at 54,000. In that year the Irish Missionaries were called upon to gather together the ruins of the once flourishing Karnatic Mission. But being so few in number they could hardly minister to the needs of Catholics spread over such an immense territory. The advent of the St. Joseph’s Mill-Hill Missionaries in 1882 began a new era of expansion and prosperity for the Telugu Missions. 2 0 0 M a d r a s .

(The Society of Foreign Missions, Milan and Secular Diocesan.)

I Historical Notes. The Mission of Hyderabad-Deccan was cut off from the Vicariate Apostolic of Madras in 1851 aud became a diocese in 1886. It is bounded': 1. On the East by the Bay of Bengal, on the North by the River Godavari, which separates it from the Dioceses of Vizagapatam and Nagpur. 2. On the West by the boundary between the Nizam’s States and the Bombay Presidency, separating it from the Poona Diocese. 3. On the South by the Tungabhadra and Kistna, which separates it from the Archdiocese of Madras. Most of tbe territory of the Diocese lies in tbe Nizam’ s Dominions. Tbe Eastern portion of the Diocese compris­ ing the Kistna District is in British territory.

E a r l y H i s t o r y .

Little is known of the early history of this region. Certain documents relate that in the reign of Ibrahim Adil Shah I (1535-1557), there were Christians in Moodgul, in the south-west of the diocese. It is likely that the earliest conversions were made by the Franciscans who arrived in 1502. Soon after we read of Christians in Raichur and Chita- pur who were visited by priests from Goa, Urban VIII in 1637 sent the Theatines to Bijapur, near Moodgul and Raichur. In 1637 the Oratorian Mateo de Castro, a Brahmin, was made Vicar Apostolic of the Deccan and Bijapur. Don Custodius de Pino succeeded Bisbop de Castro iu 1669; tbe 3rd vicar was Don Bisconti (1696). After 1696, all the Vicars Apostolic were Discalded Carmelites, In 1720, the island of of Bombay was included into the vicariate, which was then called Vicar Apostolic of Bombay. In 1707 Carmelites from Goa evangelized Moodgul. For the next 50 years Moodgul was supplied with Jesuit missionaries. In 1797 Don Pedro 2 1 4 H y d e r a b a d . d’Alcantara di San Antonio, I4tb Viear Apostolic, sent Father Joas Louis to Bijapur and Golconda and the Deccan. The Theatine Fathers were at Jamaon and Masulipatom in 1834, many of them were priests of the Brahmin caste of Malabar. From 1550 till 1832 Hyderabad diocese had no regularly appointed missions, except those of Moodgul, Masulipatam. In 1832, Hyderabad-Deccan was a part of the Irish Mission of Madras and Daniel Murphy, the real founder of the new mission, was appointed Vicar Apostolic of Hyderabad in 1851. In 1854, the Milan Foreign Mission Fathers were called to the rescue and after the retirement of Bishop Murphy the Vicariate was entrusted to the Milan Foreign Missionaries.

I Historical Notes. The Diocese of Nagpur was created by dismemberment from the Diocese of Vizagapatam in 1887, and its boundaries were fixed by a decree of the Propaganda, dated July 10, 1895.

It comprises : —

I. The Central Provinces and Berar, except : (a ) the districts of Saugor and Damoh, (b) the tahsil of Sironcha and Zamindari of Ahiri in the Chanda District, (c) the feudatory states of Bastar, Sakti, Raigarh, Joshpur, Udaipur, Sarguja, Korea, Chang Bhakar.

Y. The stations of the Rewah State on the Kutni* Bilaspur Railway line (by delegation of the Bishop of Allahabad).

Area 124,000 square miles, Population 15 millions; Catholics 21,000. Languages spoken : Marathi, etc. 2 2 0 NAdUMjit.

Ea r l y H is t o r y .

Although the territories comprised under Nagpur were included within the Vicariate of the Great Mogul, there is no trace o£ any missionary ever having set foot there till the beginning of the 19th century,

Nagpur, Kamptee, Aurangabad and Jaulnah were first visited by Goan priests from Pooua in 1814.

The Goan priests retained jurisdiction till 1839 when the district fell to the jurisdiction of the Vicar Apostolic of Madras. FF. Breen (1844), Egen and Murphy (later Vic. post of Hyderabad) took possession of Kamptee and Jaulnah. In 1145 the missionaries of St. Francis of Sales from Aunecy (France) were appointed to the charge of the northern portion of the Vicariate of Madras which became the vicariate of Vizagapatam, and subsequently Nagpur was separated from Vizagapatam.

The Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales and Diocesan Clergy,

I Historical Notes. In 1845 this mission was separated from the Vicariate Apostolic of Madras and was committed to the care of the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales, and by a brief of Pius IX, April 3, 1850, was erected into an Apostolic Vicariate. It was constituted into a Diocese under the Hierarchy in 1886. Taking into account the changes in the distribution of Provinces carried out by Government in 1905 and the Decree of the S. Congregation of Propaganda in 1895 fixing the boundaries between the two Djoceses of Nagpur and Vizaga- patam, the latter may now be described as follows : — It comprises.—I. Part of the Madras Presidency, viz., all the districts north of the Godavari River. II. Part of the Central Provinces, viz., the Native State of Bastar, the Zamindari of Ahiri and the taluk of Sironcha. III. Part of Behar and Orissa, viz., the British districts and tributary states of Orissa, which lie south of the Maha- nadi river except the district of Sambalpur and the states of Sonapur and Patna.

Area : 62,567 square miles ; Languages spoken : Telugu and Urya. Catholics 10,745. Population 9 millions.

E a r l y H is t o r y . Although this district was included witbin the confines of the Portuguese Diocese of Mylapore from 1606, and since 1834 formed part of. the Vicariate Apnstolic of Madras, next to nothing of Missionary work was done here until the year 1845 when it was erected into a vicariate. The first mission* aries of St. Francis of Sales ariving at Vizagapatam found 29 226 VlZAGAPATAM.

there one old priest, a Theatine, the last survivor of what was known as the Golconda Mission. There were only a scattering of Catholics in a few places mostly European Troops or camp followers. In 1850 their number was esti­ mated at about 4,000 at a time when the Vicariate included the Nagpur Districts which were separated from Vizaga- patam in 1887.

Suffragan Dioceses : Coimbatore, Kambakonam, Malacca ...... and Mysore.

(The Society of Foreign Missions of Paris and Diocesan Clergy.)

I Historical Notes. The Archdiocese of Pondicherry is bounded : 1. On the East by the Bay of Bengal, from the mouth of the river Palar to the mouth of the Vellar. 2. On the North by the Palar, which separates it from the Diocese of San Thome of Mylapore and the Archdiocese of Madras. 3. On the West partly by the Mysore territory and the river Chnnar, which separates it from the Diocese of Mysore, and partly by the Cauvery which separates it from the Diocese of Coimbatore. 4. On the South by the river Vellar, which separates it from the Diocese of Kumbakonam. Besides Pondicherry itself and the portion of British India contiguous to it, the archdiocese includes all the smaller outlying French possessions, viz., Karikal and Yanaon on the East Coast, Mahe on the West Coast, and Chandernagore in Bengal.

Population 142,389. Catholics in French Territory alone, 25,859. Catholics in British Territory. 116,530.

E a r l y H i s t o r y .

The first missionaries who landed at Pondicherry in January 1674 were the Capuchins. They took care of the Europeans settled there. In 1689, French Jesuits came from Siam and began work among the Indians. From Pondi­ cherry the Jesuits proceeded inland and founded in 1700 what P o n d i c h e r r y . 233

waS' called the Karnatic Mission. On the suppression of the'Jesuits in 1773, the whole field was entrusted to the Paris Foreign Mission Seminary, including the Madura and Mysore Missions where the disbanded Jesuit Missionaries continued to work under the new regime till they gradually died out. In 1836, the mission was made into the Vicariate of Coro* mandel Coast. At the same time the Jesuits who had been restored in 1814 were placed once more in charge of Madura Mission, excepting the portion north of the Cauvery River which was retained by Pondicherry. In 1850 the vicariates of Mysore and Coimbatore were separated from Pondicherry, In 18S6 Pondicherry was erected into an archbishopric with Mysore and Coimbatore as suffragans. Lastly in 1899 the southern portion of the diocese was cut off to form the Suffragan diocese of Kumbakonam.

I Historical Notes.

E a r l y H i s t o r y . The Catholic Faith was introduced into Malacca long before the fourteenth century. At that time India and all other Eastern countries depended on the Bishopric of Funchal. In 1545 the Dominicans in charge of Malacca and of the Molucca Archipelago founded a special branch of their order, the congregation of the East Indies which sent many missionaries, the most famous among them being Father Bermudez. In 1546 St, Francis Xavier visited Malacca. In 1558 Pope Paul IV erected a bishopric at Malacca and its first Bishop was the Dominican George of St, Lucia. The new diocese extended its jurisdiction all over the Far-East including China, Corea and Japan, until the creation of the See of Macao.

After 1783 the Diocese was governed by Vicars-General under the Archbishop Metropolitan of Goa.

In 1838, Malacca was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Vicar-Apostolic of Ara and Pegu.

In 1841, the Malayan Peninsula was erected into a separate Vicariate, including the suppressed See of Malacca, Singapore, Penang and other stations in the straits formely under the jurisdiction of the Vicar Apostolic of Western Siam.

The Island of Solor and Timor (Oceania) belonged also to this Diocese. At present the Island of Timor (Portuguese Territory,) and two exempted churches at Malacca and Singa­ pore (which always remained under thè Portuguese jurisdic­ tion) belong to the Bishopric of Macao. 33 258 M a l a c c a .

By the Decree oE Leo XIII, August 10, 1888, Malacca was erected into a Diocese, and Dr. Edward Gasnier, appointed Bishop of that See with tbe privilege of residing at Singapore. By a subsequent Decree it was included into the Ecclesiastical Province of Pondicherry.

The Society of Foreign Missions of Paris and Diocesan Clergy.

I Historical Notes. Mysore was erected into a Vicariate in 1850, having been separated from Pondieherry in 1845. It became a Diocese under the Hierarchy in 1886. It comprises the territories of the Maharaja of Mysore and the British Pro­ vinces of Coorg, Kollegai Taluk, and the Taluk of Eosur, Salem District. It is bounded (1) on the North from Harihar eastward, by the Archdiocese of Madras, and from Harihar westward, by the Diocese of Poona and Goa, the boundary line being the northern border of the Mysore territory ; (2) on the West by the Diocese of Mangalore, the Western Ghauts being the boundary ; (3) on the South by the Diocese of Coimbatore, the boundary line being the northern border of the District of Coimbatore; (4) and on the East, partly by the Archdiocese of Madras and partly by that of Pondicherry. Catholics : 61,347.

E a e l y H i s t o r y . Originally Mysore belonged to the Archdiocese of Goa, but what early mission work was done there remains a matter of obscurity. At the beginning of the 17th century the Jesuits began a Mission among the Canarese. In 1650 they founded the separate Mission of Mysore which comprised Salem and Coimbatore and which received over 10.0U0 Catholics. By the year 1760, the number of Catholics in the Mysore Mission bad risen to 25,000. The Jesuits worked the mission till 1773, when the Society of Jesus was suppressed. However ex-Jesuits remained at their post till they died out, under the jurisdiction of the Foreign Missions of Paris to whom the Jesnit Missions had been entrusted in 1776. After this date the History of Mysore is one with that of Pondi­ cherry till 1845 when it was separated from the Vieariate of Pondicherry. M y s o r e . 265

The famous Abbe Dubois spent most of his life among the Canarese atGanjam, Palhally and Settibally. In the Telugu-spesking countrv, missions were started by the Jesuits as early as 1601. But the work advanced very little up to 1640. At that time other Jesuits adopting themselves to the Indian ways of living worked their way far into the Kingdoms of Gingee, Vellore and Golconda. In 1704 the Karnatic Mission was founded and confided to the French Jesuits driven away from Siam by persecution. It received half of the Kingdom of Gingee, the Kingdoms of Vellore and Golconda and over 5,000 Catholics. In 1760, the number of Catholics had risen to 30,000. After the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773, the French Jesuits remained at their post, till they died out, under the jurisdiction of the Superior of the Foreign Missions of Paris to whom the Karnatic Mis* sion bad been entrusted in 1776.

F o r m e r P r e l a t e s . 1. Stephen Louis Charbonnaux, Bishop of Jassen in Caria, nominated June 10,1841, as Co-adjutor to Mgr. Bon- naud, Vie. Ap. of Pondicherry, and consecrated Juue29,1845. On the erection of this Vicariate in 1850 he was appointed its first Vic. Ap.; died June 23, 1873. 2.

36 PREFECTURE APOSTOLIC OF KAFRISTAN AND KASHMIR.

The St. Joseph's Society, Mill H ill.

I Historical Notes. By a decree of Leo XIII, the extensive regions of Kafris- tan and Kashmir were made a distinct Mission as a Prefec­ ture, and confided to the Fathers of the Society of St. Joseph of Mill Hill. As this is an entirely new and unexplored mis­ sionary field, and as the countries it contains are difficult of access,;the North-Western part of the Punjab comprising five Military stations was attached to it to serve as a basis of operations. This portion has for its Southern and Eastern limits the river Jhelum and the Districts of Mozaffarghar, Dhera-Ismail Khan, Shanpur and Pind Dada Khan. On the West it extends to the confines of Baluchistan, while for the rest the Prefecture is conterminous with the regions of Kash­ mir, Kardistan and Kafristan. Catholics 5,000.

The Discalced Carmelites (Spanish Province) and Diocesan Clergy. Suffragan Diocese : Quilon.

I Historical Notes. The Archbishopric o£ Verapoly includes only Christians of the Latin rite. It is bounded on the North by the Ponany river, on the East by the Western Ghauts, on the West by the Diocese of Cochin, and on the South by that of Quilon, the Rani river forming the limit between both. Catholics 110,178.

E a r l y H i s t o r y *

The first Carmelite Missionaries who, in 1657, came to Malabar, were sent by Pope Alexander VII with orders to reconcile the St. Thomas’ Christians or Syrians, with their Archbishop, Francis Garcia, s .J ., whose authority they had forsaken, and to unite them again with the Catholic Church. Having failed in the first object of their mission, they succeeded at least in the second. Rome being informed of their partial success decided to charge the Carmelites with the spiritual care of the Syrians. After 1663 when the Dutch bad conquered Cochin and expelled the Portuguese Mission­ aries, the Carmelites were also entrusted with the spiritual care of the Latin Christians living in Dutch territory, the others remaining under the Government of Portuguese Bishops. Since 1701 a great part of the Syrian Catholics were under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Cranganore: in their absence they were governed by the Vicar-General of Cranganore, appointed by the Archbishop of Goa. As long as the Goan Jurisdiction lasted, the government of the Syrians was in perpetual fluctuation, the churches freely passing from one jurisdiction to the other. 286 V e r a p o l V.

So thiugs went on until September 1, 1886, when by the Bull Humanae Salutis Auctor, with 34 Latin churches taken from Verapoly and some others from Quilon, the former Diocese of Cochin was restored. Shortly after by a Brief, May 25, 1887, Quod jam pridem, the Syrians were exempted from the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Verapoly and divided into two Vicariates Apostolic, the Northern of Trichur being entrusted to Bishop Medlycott, the Southern of Kottayam to Bishop Charles Lavigne, S.J. By the decree of July 28, 1890, these Vicariates were split into three, vis., Changanacherry, Ernakulam and Trichur under the govern­ ment of Indian Bishops of the Syrian rite.

I Historical Notes.

E a r l y H i s t o r y . Tradition tells as that St. Thomas, one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, eame to India, preached the Gospel and founded a church there. The Christians of Malabar believe that the Apostle in 52 A. D. landed at Cranganore, a place which is now an obscure hamlet, but was in those days a flourishing seaport, called by ancient geographers Mouziri. St. Thomas erected seven churches on the Malabar Coast at Niranam, Quilon, Chayal, Cocka- mangalam, Maliankara (Cranganore), Kottakaw and Palur, which are specially venerated even by non-Christians. Among others, the Apostle converted also many Brah­ min families, and ordained priests and Bishops. The Apostle founded in the East eight Archbishoprics, of which Malabar was one. The Apostle preached also in other parts of India. In the year 67 he was martyred at Little Mount, a little distance from St. Thomas’ Mount, and was buried at Myla- pore, in the modern city of Madras.

W h a t T r a d i t i o n S a y s . After the dispersion of the Apostles, St. Thomas preached among the Parthians and the Oriental Churches in Syria and Mesopotamia have always attributed to St. Thomas the preaching of the Gospel in Asia. At that date there had long been commerce between Europe and India, not only by caravans which took the land route through Persia, but also by ships down the Red Sea qr the Persian Gulf. tlRNAKtJLAM. 3 1 1

St. Thomas journeyed down the Bed Sea and halted at Socotora, whence he went on to Cranganore, and several ancient writers mention India as the scene of St. Thomas1 labours. Thus St. Ephrem the Syrian (A.D. 300—328) in a hymn about the relics of St. Thomas at Edessa, depicts Satan exclaiming " The Apostle whom I killed in India comes to meet me in Edessa.” St. Gregory Nazianzen (329—389) in a homily says : “ What, were not the Apostles foreigners? Granting that Judea was the country of Peter, what had Saul to do with the Gentiles, Lake with Achaiu, Andrew with Epirus, Thomas with Indio, Mark with Italy.*’ St. Ambrose (340—397) writes : “ When the Lord Jesus said to the Apostles : ‘ Go and teach all nations,' even the king­ dom that had been shut off by the barbaric mountains lay open to them, as India to Thomas, as Persia to Matthew-

Numerous other passages could be cited from various old liturgies and martyrologies which refer to the work of St. Thomas in India, aud these passages at least show that the tradition that St. Thomas died in India was widespread among the early Churches.

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle relates that King Alfred the Great, in gratitude to God for his victories, in 883, sent gifts not only to Rome but to the shriue of St. Tiiomas and St. Bartholomew in Mylapore. But some historians have erred in asserting that St. Bartholomew the Apostle also preached and was buried in East India. Historians testify that at the time of King Alfred the Great, the Church of St. Thomas in Mylapore was in the possession of the Syrian Christians, and it was then called by them Beth Thoma or Mar Thoma. Beth Thoma is by some mistakenly constructed into Bartholomew. It is simply a mistaken meaning of the Syriac term, Beth Thoma or Mar Thoma (house or place of St. Thomas). On the other hand, we have uu tradition that St. Bartholomew ever came to East India. The place of St. Bartholomew’s preaching and shrine was India Citerior (Arabia Fe.ix or Ethiopia now Persian Baluchistan) and Albanum, in Armeuia Major respectively (Brev. Rom,, 24th August).

The Acts (part II, C. 8) of the Ecumenical Council of Niciea I in 325, show ttiat a certain John represented himself to the Council and subscribed to the symbol of the Faith as ERNAkULAM.

Bishop of Great India and Persia ( vide Labe, “ Sacrosancta concilia” Venice 172. Tom. II. lib. 2, c. 37, Col. 235; Fr. Samuel Qiamile, “ Genuiuae Relationes ” Rome 1902, p. 578).

Tbis Jolin was really a Syro-Chaldsean Bishop. This fact universally admitted by all historians clearly proves, against some recent writers, that tbe ancient Apostolic ChnrcLi of Indian-Syro-Chaldsean Bishops and Syro-Cbaldsean Liturgy, before the Syrian colony, headed by Thomas Cana, lauded in Malabar in 345 A.D. Tbis colony, brought by Thomas Cana, only strengthened tbe Christian community in Malabar ; but they did not newly give to the former Christians either the title “ Syrian ” or the Syriac Liturgy. For both history and tradition attest, that to the primi­ tive Church of India, the Syro-Chaldrean Liturgy was given by St. Thomas the Apostle himself. When St. Thomas landed at Cranganore in the year 52, there was a Jewish colony in the neighbourhood, These Jews spoke Syro-Chaldaic. Tbe Apostle, being in this pagan country, first turned to the Jews and converted them ; their Synagogue was turned into a Christian Church, and divine service was conducted in Syro-Chaldaic, their vernacular. The converted Gentiles were united to tbe Jews, churches were multiplied, and Syro- Chaldaic was adopted by all in the divine service. The tradition of tbe Church of Malabar about the Syriac Liturgy is attested in the letter of St. Thomas’ Christians to Pope Gregory XIII written in 1578.

M o d e r n H i s t o r y . The Syrian Christians in Malabar are even to-day called Nazarani Mapilas or St. Thomas' Christians, The appellation, Nasarani, was given to the primitive Christians in the early centuries. It originated from the derision of the Jews who called the Christians Nasarani, as Jesus was from Nazareth. The Syrian Christians are also Mapilas. The Syrian Christian priests are called Carthanars, which is also an abbreviated form of the Malayalam words Garthan (Governor) and Nathan (Lord), i.e., governing Lord of the parish. The Syrian Christian Bishops «re called Abuna and Mar. The term Abuna in Syriac means Father, and Mar means Lord, which are titles of respect, corresponding to Dominus in Latin, Momeigneur in French and Italian, Dom in Portuguese E r n a k u l a m . 31 3

and Spanish. The Syrian Christians attach the title Mar to the names of Popes, Angels and Saints also. Ex. gr. M ar Papa or Mar Pios Papa, Mar Michael, Mar Joseph, etc. The Church in Malabar was governed by the Syro-Chal- dsean Bishops till the end of the lGth century. But the Portu­ guese authorities in India in 1600 substituted Latin Bishops tor this Church, under the Royal Patronage of Portugal, The administration of Latin Bishops over the Syrian Chris­ tians of Malabar and their different rites occasioned, during the last three centuries, much discontent and dissension. As a result of these dissensions, towards the end of the 18tb century, Jacobitism was unfortunately introduced in Malabar and it still remains in vigorous force ; its followers were henceforth known as * Jacobite Syrians ’ and vulgarly called Puthekoutucars, i,e., “ new sect ” whose number now exceeds 200,000 with some six native Bishops, while Catholic Syrian Christians in Malabar are distinguished from the others and called Paeheakuttucars, i.e., “ old sect," The Catholics of the Syro-Malabar rite remained under the jurisdiction of Verapoly and Cranganore, and after the suppression of that See under Goa, until Pope Leo XIII, by the Brief Quod Jam pridem of May 29, 1887, separated the Churches of the Syrian rite ou the Malabar Coast, from those of Latin dioceses and leaving the latter under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Verapoly and of the Bishop of Cochin, erected the former into two Vicariates Apostolic, one for Northern and the other for Southern Malabar, and styled them respectively of Trichur and Kottayam. Again, Pope Leo XIII granted them three Bishops of their own rite and nationality ; and thus, by the Brief Quae Sei Sacrae of July 1896, a new division having been made, three Vicariates Apostolic were erected for them, namely, Trichur, Ernakulam and Changanacherry, which are not under the Ecclesiastical Province of Verapoly. Pope Pius X, by the Brief In universi Chr.istiani of Aug. 1911, restored the Vicariate Apostolic of Kottayam pro gente suddistica, i.e., for that Section of the Syro-Malabar Christians, -who are known as * Suddists '— descendants of the fourth century emigrant Syrians; and the Vicariate comprises all the churches and chapels of the Suddist Syrians on the Malabar Coast; 4 0 3 1 4 E r n a k u l a m .

Finally, by the Bull Romani Pontifices, the Syro-Malabar Hierarchy was erected by Pope Pjus XI on December 21, 1923, with the Archdiocese of Ernakulam as the Metropolitan and the Dioceses of Ctianganacherry Kottayam and Tricbur as its suffragans. This Archdiocese comprises all the churches of the Syrian rite of Malabar situated between the Cbalakudy river and the Vempanad lake. It has, therefore, its territory in the Native States of Travancore and Cochin and in British Cochin, and is divided into the nine decanates of Angamaly, Arakushey, Edapally, Kanjur, Tripoonithura, Pallipuram, Parur, Mailakomp and Yaikam. Area about 2,450 sq. miles. Population : about 1,180,000. Catholics 131,130. Language-— Malayalam.

(Indian Secular Clergy, Syro-Malabar Bite.)

I Historical Notes. (See Archdiocese nf ErnaknUm.)

Pope Leo XIII, by the Brief Quod jam pridem of 1887, created the Vicariates Apostolic of Tricbur arid Kottayam for the Syrian Catholics of Malabar, separating them from the Archdiocese of Cranganore and the Vicariate Apostolic of Verapoly and gave them 2 Vicars Apostolic from the Latin Rite. Again, Pope Leo XIII, by his vigilant solicitude for the preservation of the Oriental Kites, answered the repeated prayers of the Syrian Catholics of Malabar by granting them three Bishops of their own Rite and nationality in 1896, and by the Brief Quctrei sacrce of July 28, 1896, the three Vieariates Apostolic of Trichur, Ernakulam and Changanacherry were created. Again, Pope Pius X, by the Brief In Universi Christiani o f 1911, restored tbe Vicariate Apostolic of Kottayam Pro gente suddistica, i.e., for that section of the Syro-Malabar Christians, who are known as ‘ Suddhists ’—descendants of the fourth century emigraut Syrians, and the Vicariate comprised all the churches and chapels of Suddhist Syrians on tbe Malabar Coast. Finally, Pius XI made Kottayam a Residential Episcopal See on December 21, 1923.

( The Oblates of Mary Immaculate and Diocesan Clergy,) Suffragan Sees ; Gralle, Jaffna, Kandy and Trineomalee. I Historical Notes. The Archdiocese of Colombo comprises two out of the nine Provinces into which the island of Ceylon is divided, tis., the Western Province, chief town, Colombo, and the North-Western Province, chief town. Kurunegala. It is bounded on the North by the Northern and North Central Provinces, on the East by the Central and Sabaragamuwa Provinces, on the South by the Sabaragamuwa and Southern Provinces, and on the West by the sea.

Population 1,739,028. Cotholics 275,441.

Ea r l y Histo ry . The Catholic Faith was first preached in Ceylon by the) Franciscans. Odoric de Pordenone, a Franciscan, visited Ceylon in 1323 and baptised many idolaters. After 1500, the Faith spread rapidly, and the town of Colombo and sur- roundings were erected into a diocese, and Don Juan de Monteiro was created first Bishop of Colombo. This prelate received into the Church Don Juan Dharma- pala, the grandson of the Cingalese King Buwenekabahu VII. This prince succeeded in 1542. Six years after his accession Colombo contained a Catholic population of 12,000 with 2 parishes. Our Lady’s and St. Lawrence’s, 4 monaster* ies or convents under the Cordeliers, Dominicans, Augusti- nians, and Capuchins and a College conducted by the Jesuits. By the year 1597, the Portuguese had become masters of the whole island, except the Kingdom of Kandy. But, after 1600 the Dutch arrived in the island, and after a struggle of more than 50 years they succeeded in obtaining possession of all the territory held by the Portuguese. 3 6 8 C o l o m b o .

Colom bo fell in 1656 and Jaffna in 1658. In 1642 the Dutch had mr.de a treaty with the King of Kmdy by wbieh all priests, friars and clergymen wdre banished from Ceylon, A more severe persecution followed, where harbouring a priest was considered a capital offetrce. This lasted till the arrival of the English. In 1796 Colombo Fell to the power ol Britain and in 1806 an Act was passed repealing all the Dutch laws against Catholics. During the Dutch period the ecclesiastical administration had been in the bands of the Bishop of Cochin.

The Island continued subject io the Bishopric of Cochin till 1836, when Gregory XVI erected it into a Vicariate Apos­ tolic. It was divided in 1843 into twoVicariates, viz., Colom bo and Jaffna ; in 1853. the Central Province was severed from Colombo to form the Vicariate of Kandy. By the Constitu­ tion Humanae Salutis Auctor o f Septem ber 1, 1886, Colom bo was erected into an Archiépiscopal See with Jaffua and Kandy as Saffragaiis.

By a Brief of Leo XIII, August 26, 1893, two new dioceses were erected, the Diocese of Trincomâlee, comprising the Eastern Province and the District of Tamankaduwa in the North Central Proviuce, and the Diocese of Galle, composed of the Southern Province, and the Province of Sabarngamuws. Besides, the North-Western Province was detached from the Diocese of Jaffna to be annexed to the Archdiocese of Colombp. Thus tbe number of Suffragan Sees under the Metroplitan See of Colombo was raised to four, viz., Galle, Jaffna, Kandy and Trincomalee.

I Historical Notes.

By a decree of Leo XIII, dated August 25, 1893. the Dioeese of Jaffna comprises the Northern and the North Central Province (the Tamaukaduwa division excluded). Area 6,500 square miles. Population about half a million. Catholics 51,873.

E a r l y H i s t o r y . The Catholic faith in Jaffna must have been introduced soon after 1500. In 1547, the Kadeyars of the island of Manaar, living at a place called Patim sent a pressing inviia* tion to St. Francis Xavier to baptise them. St.. Fraagis Xavier sent them one priest who baptized all those who presented themselves. But the King of Jaffna, having heard of these conversious sent immediately soldiers to put every* thing in these villages to fire and sword. Thus about 700, or according to other accounts 400 new converts together with the priest were ruthlessly massacred. In 1518 St. Francis Xavier visited Patim on his way to St. Thotnae of Mylapore. In 1580, under Portuguese protection, the first Catholic Church was built in Jaffna. In 1591, the whole peninsula surrendered to Andrea Furtado de Mendoza. Subsequently almost the entire population abjured idolatry and embraced the Catholic Faith. In 1658, Jaffna capitulated to the Dutch; At that time there were in the peninsula 5U priests, i Jesuit College, I Franciscan aud 1 Dominican Convent. Under Dutch rule a long and harassing persecution came o e , which ended only with the surrender of Ceylon to the English in 1796. In 1686, Venerable Father Joseph Vaz came to Jaffna* where he found the Catholic religion prescribed by the Dutch Qftlvinists apd lender persecution. Efe settled at Sillale, * J a f f n a . 3 8 5

Catholic stronghold, and under a disguise revived the courage of the faithful. Pursued by the Duteh he moved to Putlam and ultimately to Kandy, where be was arrested as a Portu­ guese spy. After winning back the favour of the King of Kandy, he extended his operations to other parts of Ceylon.

In 1699, several oratorians came to bis help and his success was so great that Mgr. de Tournon, the papal legate, conceived the idea of erecting Ceylon in a diocese with Fr. Vaz as Bishop, but the latter dissuaded him from this. Jaffna remained under the jurisdiction of Cochin till 1845 when Ceylon was divided into 2 Vicariates : Colombo and Jaffna, Bishop Horatius Bettacbini was the 1st Vicar Apostolic of Jaffna. In 1847 the Oblates of Mary Immaculate cauie to Ceylon and in 1857 the Vicariate was handed over to them.

Mgr. Zaleski was the scion of an ancient aristocratic family of Lithuania and was born in the ancestral castle of Wielona on May 26, 1852. He had an excellent liberal edu­ cation and moved among the highest circles of the society of his native land. At the age of 28, already conversant with several modern languages, including Polish, Russian, French, English, Italian, Spanish and German, he entered the diocesan Seminary of Warsaw. On the 20th of October 1882, he was ordained priest and the same year was sent to Rome where he joined the College of Noble Ecclesiastics, the training school of Papal diplomats. On the 3rd of March 1885, he was ap­ pointed a member of the Council of the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda, for Eastern Affairs, and in that capacity made several journeys to Turkey, Greece, Rumania, Bulgaria, Egypt and Palestine. In recognition of his services he was nominated a Private Chamberlain of His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII, on December 15, 1885. At this time events of far-reaching importance were taking place in India and Ceylon. The famous Apostolic Consti­ tution, " Humanae Salutis Auctor ” had been promulgated in September 1886, and the same year Mgr., later Cardinal, Agliardi, Delegate Apostolic to the East Indies, left Rome to establish the hierarchy in India and CeyloD. Mgr. Zaleski accompanied him as bis Secretary, and thus first arrived in Colombo at the end of December 1885. On Mgr. Zaleski’s return to Rome in the following year, with Mgr. Agliardi, be was appointed Domestic Prelate to His Holiness and sent to England as Councillor to the Papal Embassy to London on the occasion of the Jubilee of Queen Victoria. We next find him in Paris as Councillor to the Papal Nunciature, in the French capital ; and' there, in February 1891, he was created an Officer of the Legion of Honour. From Paris Mgr. Zaleski was summoned back to Rome by Leo XIII and sent again to these shores entrusted with the mission of founding a Papal Seminary for the training of an indigenous clergy for the East Indies. 536 M g r . Z a l e s k i;

Mgr. Zilesk! arrived in Colombo on the 5th of January 1891, and after travelling about Ceylon and India and inter­ viewing several Bishops, returned to Kandy having decided to establish the Seminary in that historic and salubrious spot. His decision was sanctioned by Rome in the early part of 1892, and about the same time, March 15, 1892, he was nomiuated Delegate Apostolic in succession to Mgr. Aiuki who had succeeded Mgr. Agliardi. On the 15th of May fol­ lowing he was consecrated titular Archbishop of Thebes, the ceremony taking place in the cathedral of Calcutta.

Returning to Ceylon he busied himself about the work nearest to his heart— the foundation of the Seminary. Pend­ ing the construction of a suitable building he opened the Seminary in temporary quarters on the 24th of April 1893. Meanwhile protracted negotiations for the acquisition of the present extensive grounds iu Ampitiya had come to a satis­ factory close and the same y.ear he laid the first stone of the great Papal Seminary. Rome signalled the event by striking a commemorative medal in the following year. The medal bore on one side an effigy of Pope Leo XIII, and on the reverse the inscription, as significant as it is inspiring F ilii Tui, India, tibi administri salutis.

A portion of the buildings was completed in 1895 and the great main wing in 1899. In the former year Mgr. Zaleski added to his munificence by donating to the young insti­ tution a beautiful Chapel dedicated to his own national Patroness, Our Lady of Ostrobrama. All through his lengthy tenure of office as Delegate Apostolic, nay until his death, he retained the warmest inter­ est in the Seminary which owes so much to him, and which may be regarded as a living and lasting memorial to his charity and zeal, Before he left Ceylon he had the deep satisfaction of seeing his work realising his best expectations. It had given about 150 priests to India and a number of Bishops as well, to consecrate the latter of whom it had been his greatest happiness. Mgr. Zaleski’s active work as Papal Delegate came to a close about the end of 1916 when he was nominated Latin Patriarch of Antioch. Thereafter he lived in Rome iu tran­ quil retirement but ever following with paternal solicitude all matters of Catholic interest in the East Indies and ever ready M g r . Z a l e s k i . 537 to extend a hearty welcome to such as visited him from these parts. The best part of his life he had given to these lands in whose service-he had all but exhausted bis physical strength, To their cause, too, he devoted his best talents, and even as he has left us a tangible memorial of himself in stone mortar, so too he has enshrined his name in our Eccle­ siastical history by numerous valuable writings, the fruit of extensive researches undertaken at much labour and great pecuniary cost. Among his principal works we may men­ tion : Life of Fr. Joseph Vaz ; The Martyrs of India ; The Saints of India; St. Francis Xavier; His Apostolate in India ; Missionaries of To-day ; Stories for Children ; The Apostle St. Thomas ; Monita et Exempla S. Francisci Xnverii ; Epistolae ad Missionarios (2 vols.). Most of these works, originally written in French, have been printed in au English version as well. Mgr. Zaleski, however, will best be remembered for his great urbanity and kindliness of character, his fatherly charity towards the poor. His hearty manner in receiving visitors, the unobstrusive condescension with which be bent down to the lowest endeared him to all that approached him and won him the affection of a people naturally ready to return love for love. So, though it is now several years since Mgr. Zaleski has left, many will remember him ; remem­ bering, mourn for him; and mourning pray for his eternal rest. Most keenly of all his death will be felt by the community at the Papal Seminary, to whom we extend our heart-felt sympathy.— Ceylon Catholic Messenger, R t . R e v . M a r . T h o m a s K urialacherry , Bishop of Changanacherry. bn Thomas Kurialacherry. Dr. Thomas Kurialacherry, the late Bishop of Changa- nactaerry, was born on Jan. 14,1873, at Champakulam, Travan- core, iu a wealthy and influential family, whose antiquity goes back to the four priestly families founded by St. Thomas tbd Apostle. In his younger days be was educated chiefly at the Carmelite Eng. School at Mannanam, where he distinguished himself for his learning and deep piety. After comple­ ting his studies there*, he was sent over to Rome by Dr. Lavigne, 3.J., the then Vic. Apostolic of Kottayam. The young man of 17 notwithstanding bis tender age gladly welcomed the opportunity and stayed in the Propaganda College for nearly 10 years, during which time his piety and application impressed the authorities and his classmates so favourably that Mgr. Catnmasei, the then Rector of the Propaganda Col­ lege, wrote to Dr. Lavigne expressing his warm appreciation of the Deacon's conduct and behaviour. Again when Dr. Lavigne was in Rome in 1896, the Rector of the Propaganda College pointed to Th. Kurialacherry and called him “ un picolo santo” , “ a little saint," in the presence of his Bishop. No wonder that the Prop. College has th« following note­ worthy remarks about this distinguished alumnus in their records : “ vere in omnibus optimus : fuit diligens perfectus contubernalis : pietatem summopere coluit : ad missiones ap- tissimus.” Moreover this distinguished student was the pre­ fect of a section of younger students, during the last few years of his stay in Rome. After completing his theological studies Rev. Fr. Th. Kurialacherry set out on an Italian tour, during which, he had the chance of visiting several distinguished prelates among whom the most remarkable was Cardinal Joseph Sarto of Venice, who was so enchanted by this zealous Indian Priest, that he presented him with a chalice in token of his regard and esteem. This intimacy was not forgotten even after the elevation of the saintly Cardinal to the Pontifical dignity. The zealous Indian Priest also held a very warm corner of his heart forthe loving Pope, as we will haveoccasion to note hereafter. In 1905 Fr. Kurialacherry went to Rome as the private Secretary to the Vic. Apostolic of Eruakulam and had an audiance of the Holy Father, when previous rela­ tions had been renewed. In 1911 The Holy See felt the necessity of appointing a new Vic. Apostolic for Changanacherry. At this time Mgr. M. Makil and Mgr. J. Menacherry, iho Vies. Apostolic of Changanacherry and Trichur, had been in Rome, and the Holy Father asked them if Fr. Kurialacherry was 5 i0 D r , T h o m a s K urialacherry . fit for episcopal dignity. No wonder there was a consensus of opinion between the Pope and the Prelates concerned. The result was that Rev. Pr. 'Kurialacherry was nominated Bishop of Pella and Vic. Apostolic of Changanacherry, on August 28, 1911. As priest Pr. Kurialacherry had filled many responsible posts in various lines of activity. He was Rector of St. Berclimans’ Boarding House for a year. For about three years he was the Manager of St. Aloysius’ Eng. H. School, Edathuva, during which time he did much for the improvement and development of that institution. He had been the Vicar of Koilmuk, Kavalam, Cbennau- kerry, Champakulam and other parishes also. Moreover he was the organiser of the Franciscan Tertiaries and the promoter o£ the devotion to the S. Heart. His publi­ cations on the devotion to the S. Heart, and an account of his European tour, have won him a place as a writer of sim­ ple and elegant MalayaJam prose. His lucid and soul-stirring sermons attracted many to his pulpit. The good priest with his burning zeal for the salvation of souls and the glory of God devoted as much attention to the cause of female education and even to the establishment of a new Order of nuns, called “ The Sisters of Adoration of the Bl. Sacra­ ment,” which has at present 140 members, and who conduct one Eng. H. School, one training school and many elemen­ tary schools in different parts of the diocese. When Providence placed the good priest at the head of the diocesan administration he applied alibis zeal for the welfare of the whole flock entrusted to bis charge. H. Lord­ ship’s first Pastoral Letter chalked out the main lines of his policy. While warmly exhorting the priests to have a keen eye on the salvation of souls, H. Lordship emphatically ad­ vised the laity to be obedient to the priests and to co-operate with them in the needed reforms. The promotion of higher education, the suppression of social evils, the increase of zeal and fervour among the rank and file of the people—these in brief, were the programme that H. Lordship had before bis mind. It is no exaggeration to say that the unremitting labours of the Prelate for the last J4 years bore abundant fruit. Education developed by leaps and bounds, His Lord­ ship was responsible for the foundation of St, Berchmans’ College at the headquarters, which is one of the pioneer in­ stitutions in Malabar. Moreover, four new H. Schools came DR. THOMAS K uRIALACÉKRRŸ. 541

to being, out of which 2 are intended for the education of girls. Moreover religious bouses for women are scattered in almost every major parish of the diocese, and thereby female education is conducted on sound Catholic lines. Two Training Schools are also newly established for the training of teachers for the numerous elemeutary schools of the dio­ cese. fl. Lordship was deeply moved by the wild intem­ perance of the community, and so issued an order prohibiting the scandalous use of intoxicating liquors, especially on public occasions. This wise measure besides resulting in great moral and financial advantage of the community, has won for H. Lordship the uudyiug veneration and esteem of the heretics and pagans of the land. The spread of immoral literature and play which were the breeding grounds of many a social evil, were also attacked by the Prelate with equal success and the consequent social improvement. The month­ ly Pastorals exhorting the people to greater spiritual and moral progress, were a special feature of B. Lordship's regime. H. Lordship’s motto was to “ renew everything in Cliirst,” and the 14 years of constant labours hive achieved what was humanly possible for the zealous Prelate.

As already stated H. Lordship had baeu to liome twice before his consecration. After the consecration H. Lord­ ship went on a European tour to visit the Holy Father and to collect funds for the educational institutions of the diocese, During this tour H. Lordship went to K »me, visited H. H. Pope X, a. few months before H. Holiuess's demise, tra­ velled through Italy, France, Belgium, England, Switzer­ land, Austria and Germany, and visited m*iiy distinguished Princes and Prelates, Universities, Libraries, Cathedrals and institutions of Western Christendom. The right royal welcome accorded to H. Lordship by the late Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria and the King of Bavaria, are specially remarkable. H. Lordship attended the Eucharistie Congress at Lourdes and the Eucharistie Procession at Munich, in which places H. Lordship was the object of the pious curiosity of the admiring multitude. However, the latter portion of H. Lordship’s tour was threatened by war-clouds, which having hovered ominously over the European horizon for a short time, began to pour down with all its disastrous consequen­ ces. Anyhow, the Almighty brought H. Lordship safe from the din and bustle of the Great European War, to his gentle flock and to his aged mother, The death of His Lordship’s mother 542 D r . T h o m a s K urialacherr $-. at the ripe old age of 99, and the celebration of the Bishop’ s Sacerdotal Silver Jubilee, were occasions on which the spontaneous feelings of loyalty and personal admiration of his people were sufficiently demonstrated. The fourth European tour of H. Lordship Was also the last When H Lordship set out for Europe in March last-, his health was decidedly on the decline. However the prelate want­ ed to consummate his plans for the Welfare of his diocese, and set out for the Eternal City* where H. Lordship had audience of H. H. the Pope on two occasions, publicly thanked the Holy See for the recent erection of the Syro-Malabar Hierarchy and submitted his administrative reports to the authorities concerned. 27th May 1925 was the 26th anniversary of H. Lordfihip’s ordination and so, at the request of the Rector of the Prop. College, H. Lordship celebrated Holy Mass is the College chapel. Shortly after the Bishop fell ill, and quietly passed away on the 2nd June. H. Lordship’s veuerable body was interred in the Prop. Cemetery, assisted by a large number of prelates, priests and students from the different parts of the world. The Clergy and Laity of Syro-Malabar are specially thankful to the Mother Church in Rome for the honour that she has done to their Senior Bishop, who, as the Observatore Romano has so significantly remarked, has died a hostage in Rome. The accompanying table shows the progress of the diocese during the regime of the late Bishop : — Item. In 1911. In 1925. Increase.

“ Bishop Cardot is dying,” “ Bishop Cardot is dead ” , such were the two wires failing like thunder bolts amidst a serene sky in less than the space of one hour, striking un­ expectedly and with consternation the Clergy and Catholics of Rangoon on the morning of 18th October last. Flis Lordship, whose strength was visibly declining, had gone to Moultnein for a change at the end of September. His stay there saemed to have benefltted him and he was expected back in Rangoon within a few days, But God had decreed otherwise. On the evening of the 15th the dear Bishop took ill, on the 17th he received, fully conscious, the last rites of the Church, and on the 18th morning, he peace­ fully breathed his soul to God. He was 68 years of age and had been 46 years a mission­ ary priest in Burra», 32 years as Bishop. According to his desire, bis remains were interred at Moultnein, in St. Patrick’s Church, where he had been in charge for many years. By a formal wish the lamented Prelate prohibited a panegyric being pronounced at his funeral, but I don’ t think it will be wanting in respect towards his humility aud last will, if I now briefly draw your attention to the great work he has done in this Mission during his long Episcopate. To him, after God, we are indebted for the present flour­ ishing state of our holy religion in this Vicariate. Gifted in organization, he has put every parish on a proper working basis and has established new posts ev^n in the most remote parts of our Mission field. By introducing and spreading everywhere iu this Mission the devotion to the Sacred Heart, he has awakened the piety of our Catholics and made their faith a lively and active one. Wonderful was the progress made under him in the secular and religious education of the children, due to the establishment of normal schools for the training of teachers and the creation of an order of Native Nuns to take charge of girls. But above all his other works the most outstanding one, which shines forth like a precious gem, is the formation of a native Clergy. 544 D r . A l e x a n d e r C a r d o t .

When his Lordship succeeded Bishop Bigandet only five native priests were at work on the Mission ; on the day oE his funeral they were 25 forming a crown around his coffin, ane another 20 young men now completing their studies in theology will be ordained within a few years. Turning to the material side, I will only recall to your minds the untiring endeavours of Bishop Cardot to give the Mission its beautiful Cathedra], and its ecclesiastical Seminary.

You see, then, dearly beloved brethern, the life of your lamented chief Pastor was full of works because full of the greatest zeal for the glory of Qod and the advancement of the Mission, as well us for the salvation and sanctification of your souls. Truly could he say on his death-bed “ I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord, the just Judge, will render to men that day."—(II Tim., Chap, IV.) I have just placed before you, dearly beloved brethern, a few of the great deeds of your late Bishop; in.order to give praise to whom praise is due, but especially to excite in your hearts feelings of profound gratitude towards him and urge you on to pray for him. You all know the dear Bishop had to go through the great trial of blindness for the past two years, and We may say that he had his purgatory on earth. .We can then hope that Qod has already received him into Paradise and granted him the reward promised to his faith* iul servants. However, the Divine Justice, being infinite, is beyond our limited knowledge and judgment; so much that we cannot be absolutely certain of his Divine Decrees. For this reason I earnestly invite you to continue your fervent prayers for the repose of the soul of our dear departed.

' * FELIX PERROY, B ish o p op Medea, Vicar Apostolic of Southern Burma. L. D. SWAMIKANNU PILLAY.

Louis Dominic Swamikannu Pillay was born at Somanoor, a weaving centre in the Coimbatore, District on the 1st of April 1865 His father, Louis Pillay, was a pupil of the Christian Brothers who were in charge of some educational institutions in Southern India. To this fact and to the cir­ cumstance that like his brother, Father Aloysius, Louis Pillay had received a seminary training, he owed it that he had h very good knowledge of Latin and French and was well qualified to lay the foundations of a good classical knowledge which brought bis son into prominence in his academic career. Swamikannu Pillay’s regular schooling began with bis admission along with his elder brother, Mr. Muthukannu Pillay, into St. Joseph’s College, Negapatam, the only first grade college in those days which could boast of a well- conducted boarding establishment for Catholics of Southern India and Ceylon. Two influences were at work in moulding his intellect and character. He soon felt the strength of the classical tradition built up by such humanists as Father Bruni, S.J., Doctor Barrow, S.J., M.A., sometime Don of St. Edmund’s Hall, Oxford, Father Gallo, s.J., an eminent theo­ logian, Fathers Abren and Bangar, to which list was soon to be added the name of Father Jean who was destined to exercise profound influence on the intellectual development of his favourite pupil. The other influence, altogether spiri­ tual, was associated with the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin and its new director, Father Eyraud, S.J. Father Gallo, as was characteristic of him as well as of other fathers of the Turin province who were also labouring in the Madura Mis­ sion, had implanted in the heart of his spiritual children a tender devotion to the Blessed Mother. It was the work of Father Eyraud to awaken enthusiasm in the study of Catholic Doctrine and Bible History and to make of the Sodality a real training ground oE Christian piety and Christian charac­ ter. The rules which were enforced with scrupulous rigour had first to be studied by all postulants who were frequently examined on them before their admission to the Sodality. Admission was regarded as a privilege and perseverance as well as promotion in the Sodality were dependent on con­ tinued good behaviour and application in studies, The 69 516 L. D. SWAMIKANNU PlLLAY.

conferences were as a rule learned discourses. It speaks well of the classical attainments of Mr. Swamikannu and some of his schoolmates who were members of the Sodality that they were able, with ease, to follow the conferences preached in Latin by Father Lessman, S.J., of the Bombay Mission who was then staying: in the college as visitor. He was * pupil at that time of the Vth class. Not only did he make great progress in his studies, but he also advanced in virtue under the able direction of Father Byraud, s J.) for whom he ever after cherished great affection as was evinced by his ■awarding annually a prize in St. Joseph’s College, Triehino- poly, in his lion urad memory. There were two other features of his school life which were destined to have great effect on his after life. One was the spirit of emulation fostered by the Camp system. This showed itself in a friendly rivalry between him and Mr. Arokiasamy Pillay, now Public Prose­ cutor, Ramnad, who stood second to him in all subjects except Mathematics where he invariably carried off the prize. This led to Swamikannu Pillay taking Mathematics for his B.A. while his rival took Philosophy, to show thereby that he was not incapable of achieving distinction in Mathematics. The other feature was the facility with which he wrote Latin verses.

His success in the Matriculation Examination (he took a first class) was a great event in those days. The writer remembers Father Santiago telling him that when he went to the S. P. G. College, Tanjore, which was the examination centre for the District, the professors of that college, point­ ing to him whispered to those near them, “ He took a first class in Matriculation.” A great deal of this admiration for brilliant young men survived in Mr. Swamikannu Pillay’ s time and he was looked upon as an intellectual prodigy. He stood first in the Presidency in F.A. Among his professors were the late Father Jean, s.J,, Father Morel, s.J., Father Centres, s.J ., Father Gnanapragasam and his brother the late Mr. M. B. Susai Pillay, m .a .

As has already been said, he had an ambition to achieve distinction in Mathematics. Therefore, despite the fact that Father Centres had to devote his time exclusively to science and there was none to teach him Mathematics, he took that subject, availing himself of the presence of Father du Ran- quet, a new arrival from France. Bqt here a fresh difficulty L. D. SWAMIKANNU PlLLAY. 547 presented itself. Father du Ranquet was just beginning to study English and he was ignorant of French. This diffi­ culty he got over by writing all difficult problems, which he could not solve with the help of keys, at the top pages of a note-book and sending them to the Father. The latter would work them in five or six steps. So wonderfully brieE and lucid were these solutions as compared with those found in the keys that when the Father was somewhat able to express himself in halting English supplemented by gestures, he asked him to account Eor the contrast. Father du Ranquet illus­ trated his inethod by reEerring to the fable of the hare and the cat, how when these animals were suddently apprised of danger to their lives by the hunter’s horn, the Eormer began to run pursued by the hounds while the latter quickly got up a tree and was safe from pursuit. The moral of the tale was that success in mathematical studies depended on the right and prompt application of formula and principles as opposed to the mechanical lengthening out of the solution. The note­ books containing the problems worked out were among his valued manuscripts. He never gave up his mathematical studies. Even in the midst of his official career, he was found revising from time to time bis Differential and Integral Calculus.

His appreciation of the talents of Father du Ranquet was only second to his unbounded admiration of the classical attainments of Father Jean. He was of opinion that the command of elegant, idiomatic Latin prose was a surer mark of Latin scholarship than facility to com­ pose verses, As a student, he had recourse to certain ingenious tricks, to catch Father Jean tripping. When asked, to read a few sentences from Cicero, Livy or Catiline, he purposely altered a word or phrase, to see whether the Father perceived the change. But the trained ear of Father Jean would at once detect the mistake and suggest the right word or phrase. Swamikannu Pillay once told the writer that if was a great mortification to the Father, a source of distrac­ tion to him, to hear Latin read by some priests in utter disregard of quantity.

His success in the matriculation examination, which had drawn public attention to St, Joseph’s College, had also the effect of bringing Swamikannu Pillay prominently beEore the educated portion of the Catholic Community. The Fathers 548 L. D. SwAMlkANifU P lL iiA i. of the Mission in particular began to bestow special care and attention on him and afford him every facility for intellectual progress. Never was watchfulness and zeal more fruitful than in this case. His successes in f . a ., and b . a ., in both of which he took a first class and stood first in the Presidency, brought great credit to the College and its Rector^ Father Jean} who was appointed in 1882 a member of the Educational Commission; The same year Sir W. W. Hunter, President of the Commission) paid a visit to the College accompanied by Dr. Miller of the Christian College, Madras. Swamikannu Pillay distinguished himself on that occasion by reading a Latin poem of welcome the elegance and melody of which was much appreciated by Dr. Hunter who replied in a few Latin verses composed there and then, verses in which he compared St. Joseph’s College to classic ground and its Rector to a gardener transplated from a far-famed academic grove in the west.

When the College was transferred to Trichinopoly, Swamikannu Pillay followed it thither. He took a first class in M .A., in Language and Literature. How thorough and cons­ cientious was his preparation for it appears from the fact that he was not satisfied with a critical reading of the textbooks prescribed but read the complete works of the different authors. He was now a professor of English, contributing not a little to the popularity of the College in its new home where it had to struggle hard for its very existence on acount of the opposition of the S.P.G., authorities who bad been first in the field and who resented the invasion of what they had long regarded as their own private preserve by the Jesuits who, to add insult to injury, opened, their new College in close proximity to theirs. He did not rest from his intellectual pursuits but formed plans for achieving new academic distinctions. He brought a microscope and entered on a course of scientific studies with a view to take the London B. Sc degree in natural sciences. Amid bis literary and scientific labours be felt the time had come for him to choose his future state of life. His mother, bis brother and married sister were living witn him and his father was urging him to marry. The earnestness with which be prepared himself to know the will of God in regard to his own future points to deep, solid piety. Mention has been already made of his admission into the Sodality of L. D. SWAMIKANNU PlLtiAY. 549 the Blessed Virgin at Negapatam under the direction of Father Eyraud. He had always been a consultor and, often appointed Prefect. His piety, which was unostentatious, appeared strikingly in his manners, mien and deportment, in bis dress, which was simple and neat and in his humility and modesty which were all the more striking in one whose academic achievements were of a very high order. A more convincing proof of the genuiness and solidity of his piety than lhis complete absence of all traces of vanity, pride and self-complacency, it would be hard to find in the annals of Catholic scholarship. To a man of such deep piety, the choice of a state of life w»s a serious and solemn task. The Superior of the Madura Mission, the late Father Barbier, S.J., thought he was cut out for the Society. He himself felt be was called to an apostolate in the world. However he would not arrive at any decision without light and guidance from heaven. He west 'through the spiritual exercises under the direction of the late Father Sewell, S.J., and when be came out of the retreat it was understood thnt his vocation was to do good in the world as a layman and not as a religious. How true and faithful be was to his vocation, bow his light shone, how he helped the Church and the Catholic cause iu Southern India, in a measure and in ways different from and hardly possible to the clergy, religious or secular, is a matter of common knowledge. But this is to anticipate the moral and spiritual values, purposes and results of his actions, works and exercises of piety of which a fuller account will be given later. Having resolved upon a career in the world it had to be next decided whether he was to continue to be professor in a private mission college where the maximum salary was about Rupees Two Hundred or try for an appointment in Govern­ ment service with prospects of steady promotion. With the permission of the Fathers who could ill afford to use his ser­ vices he joined the Government Secretariat as a clerk on Rupees Fifty. To a man of varied literary attainments, this new position, with the worry and teasing incidental to it, appeared a monotonous drudgery. When to this was added the temper of the Under Secretary (Mr. Butterwortb, whose relations with him later were verv cordial) Swamikannu Pillay applied for permission to resign and accepted the Latin mastership of the Presidency College. In addition to his work as professor, be took to the study o£ Law, attended 550 L. D. SWAMIKANNU PlLLAV. lectures in private and was the first Catholic from the south to lake the degree of Bachelor of Laws. (Some years after be took the l l .b ., degree of the London University.) Here again the question presented itself whether he had to practise as a lawyer or re-enter Government service. Had he chosen the former course he would probably have retired as a Justice of the Sigh Court. Twice did the Madras Government pro­ pose his name for a Judge’s place ; (Sir Havelock’6 Govern­ ment recommended him for a District Judgeship and Lord Ampthill’s for a Small Cause Judgeship);,, but on both those occasions a bye-law to the effect that none but those who had put iu a practice of at least six months in the High Court should be raised to the Bench was quoted against him. Thus he lost all chance of adorning the Bench and gave up bis preparation for the London l l .m . A s regards Govern­ ment service, he found it extremely difficult to enter the Provincial Educational Service. Another disappointment was his failure to take the first place in the Provincial Civil Service examination which went to Dewan Bahadur Barna- chandra Kao. The latter’s subject was Mathematics, an exact science, where it is easy to score very high marks while in History aud Political Economy, the subjects taken by Swamikannu Pillay, a large margin has to be made for differences of opinion, for accuracy and arrangement pf matter from the examiner’s standpoint. Sir Harold Stokes, however, came to his rescue. He had heard of his attain­ ments. He was convinced of the justice of the claims put forward on his behalf by the Indian Christian Association. He appointed him Deputy Collector and posted him to Kurnool. His life as Divisional Officer was not without trials. A riot broke out in Kurnool which he succeeded in quelling by persuasion and personal appeal to both rioters and shop­ keepers. The D. S. P. reported to Government that the riot would have beeu nipped in the bud had the Divisional Officer given orders to the Police to open fire on the mob. Swami- kannu Pilly had to submit an explanation which was fouud satisfactory. We next find him iu Madras as Assistant Secretary to the Board of Revenue. After some years the post of Secretary fell vacant owing to the retirement of Dew-in Bahadur liamanujachari. Influences were at work to snatch the prize from him. But his.capacity and hard work earned the day. Mr. Weir the Board member asked L. D. SWAMIKANNU PlLLAY. him to finish some work which had been long in arrears. Woikiug all day and a considerable part of the night, he finished the work within a fortnight, and just a day before the question of appointment came up for consideration; Mr. Weir who had not thought of him till then was so thoroughly convinced of his talents and abilities that he forth­ with recommended his appointment as Secretary. He then held successively the appointments of Collector and District Magistrate, Registrar of Co-operation— a new Department where his mastery of the literature on Co-operation in English, French and German enabled him to introduce much-needed legislation, reform and development and to popularize the scheme by his tours and lectures. At the request of Lord Pentland, he delivered the convocation address. His Excellency evinced his satisfaction by sending him a letter of thanks. He was allowed a year’ s extension. The highest place to which he could naturally aspire, that of an Executive Councillor, was denied him. Instead he was appointed Secretary to. the Madras Legislative Council in which capacity he accompanied the President Sir Raja- gopalachari to England, to study parliamentary practice. He succeeded Sir Rajagopalachari as President, when the latter was appointed to the India Council and elected in the second reformed Council as its first non-offlcial President. He was arranging to stand for the Indian Christian constitu­ ency of Ramnad and Tinnevelly with a view to re-election as President when death surprised him.

In his death Catholic scholarship has suffered an irre­ parable loss. He had a facile pen. Ideas he had to gather, but the power of expression came most naturally to him. His mastery of languages both ancient and modern was remarkable. Not that these are not scholars like him, espe­ cially among the Catholic clergy, men who are authorities in Greek and Latin and in several spoken tongues of Europe, men who find time in the midst of their arduous missionary labours to revise their Homer or other classical authors, but considering that, as matters stand, very few among the educated Catholic laity show any aptitude for the study of languages or are capable of the sustained labours involved in overcoming the difficulties of grammar and philology or take the trouble of perfecting the knowledge of the single vernacular or classical language which they have to read for (¡be Intermediate or B. A. his linguistic attainments appear 55 2 L. D. SWAMIKANNU PlLLAY. nothing short of marvellous This was not all. To keep up and render available for ready use all information acquired, he devised a system of memory aids. He improved upon Pitaian’s short band system. He found in the study of Indian chronology a potent means of correcting many wrong dates and extravagant chronological assumptions of writers on Indian history and ancient civilization. The publication of the several volumes of Indian Ephemeris cost him much labour and many weary years of patient mathematical cal­ culation. Some articles contributed by him to the Indian Antiquary on the probable date of Buddha’s death or the date of the Tamil poet Manikkavasagan showed the possibi­ lities of Indian chronology as an aid to historical researoh. At the same time, to correct the prejudices and superstitions of the average Indian scholar be was at great pains to show, as in his last lectures and in two I. C. T. S. tracts, that the pretentions of Indian astrologers to foretell the future, were grounded neither on reason, fact or science.

In his death the Catholic Indian community has lost a great leader, one whose character and moral greatness in­ spired confidence, evoked admiration and compelled imita­ tion and compliance. To him was not given the power of swaying men and keeping them spell-bound by fairy elo­ quence, by great daring and courage or by overmastering strength of will. His influence or leadership was of a mild nature. It was the outcome of deep earnestness and disinterestedness, of good example and a virtuous life. He practised all the devotions and exercises of piety learnt at school and promptly adopted others which had acquired greater prominence in recent times. A sa sodalist and a member of the Apostleship of Prayer, he kept up the habit of reciting the office of the Blessed Virgin, of preparing for all feasts recommended to Sodalists and of being in close touch with the old sodality in bis Alma Mater and the one established in his parish. He faithfully followed the First Friday devotions» He was a weekly communicant until the practice of frequent and daily communion came to be preach­ ed when he quietly adopted it and parsevered in it to the end. He visited Trichihopoly once a year or, if official busi­ ness stood in the way, once in two years to go through the Spiritual Exercises. After the death of his first wife, he began Jo read- the kiv^s pf Captain Marceau, Admiral de L. D. SWAM1KANMU PlLLAY. 553

Senis, the Holy Man of Tours and other prominent Catholic laymen. He cultivated the devotion to the Holy Pace and like the Holy Man of Tours he kept a lamp burning night and day before it. It was bis idea to remain a widower all his life, a resolution in which he would have persevered but for the step taken by his father, who near seventy years old, in mourning a young woman. It took him some time to re­ cover from the shock andt as his stepmother had to remain under his support, he thought it prudent to marry again. When the idea of Reparation io the Sacred Heart and the practice of enthronement of the Sacred Heart picture began to spread he adoptud both practices and had a light burning before tho enthroned picture of the Sacred Heart. His soul nurtured on these devotions expanded in grace and over­ flowed in good work^. in his own family circle he was a model husband, a model parent, a benefactor of those among his relations who needed his help. His hospitality was boundless. More enjoyable even than his hospitality was the charm of his conversation.

In his public activities he devoted to the social and intellectual amelioration of the members of his own commu­ nity a large part of bis time which, if it had been given to the good of the general public, would have earned him un­ dying fame and gratitude. He was one of the founders of the Catholie Former Pupils Association, St. Joseph’s Col­ lege, Trichinopoly, and for a quarter of a century the Secre­ tary to its annual meeting. He was one of the founders, and for a little over twenty years, the Honorary Secretary of the Catholic Indian Association of Southern India. Gut for him the latter would hardly have entered on its second or third year of its existence. He had to meet criticisms, reconcile conflicting interests, differences of opinion. He had to dispense favours, to extend its patronage to delegates from mofussil stations who attended general meetings primarily for their own good. At a later stage, he had to face stormy meetings, to put up with noisy agitations or disturbances of of an ultra democratic kind. His patienec, his forbearance, his sweetness of temper disarmed opposition and enforced respect for his person. Even after his resignation of the secretaryship, for encouraging such activiti9s and aims as were incompatible with his position as Government servant, he continued to be the life and directing force of the Asso* ciation. 70 L. D. SWAMIKANND PlLLAY.

His sincerity and earnestness were beyond cavil. His simplicity of manners and easy accessibility, his geniality, modesty and humility which to those who had not known him conveyed no impression, no idea of bis position or condition until he began to speak or read his report were the surest marks of Christian perfection. They were a source of edification to the clergy. A Bishop and his Vicar-General were struck with amazement to find him walking up towards them on the beach|and kneeling down to kiss the Bishop’s ring. In this respect he reminded one of the Duke of Norfolk. One among many iustances might here bti recounted to show how his humility seemed to grow as he rose in bis official position. He was Collector and District Magistrate when, happening to pass through the headquarters of a district, he deemed it his duty as a Catholic to pay his respects to the Bishop of the place. As he was waiting in the parlour, he began to read a book he found on the table, a new commentary in Latiu on the Apocalypse of St. John. When His Lordship came and saw what he was doing he told him that the lan­ guage of the work he was reading was far too difficult to understand. Ifc was ordinary Church Latin, and Church Latin or classical Latiu, it could present no difficulty to one who was an acknowledged master of its language and litera­ ture, one who was examiner and a member of the Board of Studies in that language and often consulted by Latin scholars of eminence. Swamikannu Pillai relished the humour of the situation and though chuckling within himself was as cheerful and humble as ever. In these days of little learning and much vapouring, of restiveness and noise agitation, the example of this simple, humble and modest Catholic, a scholar of undoubted pre- eminence, a retired government servant whose merits had won for him the titles of Dewan Bahadur, Distinguished Service Order and Companion of the Indian Empire, to which won d have been added, had life been spared to him for a few months more, a Knighthood, one who had risen to the highest position of honour in the Presidency next to that of His Excellency, was a steadying influence, an inspiration, a beacon light to all. In him all elements combined to make him great and noble learning with virtue, patience with fortitude, humility with literary and social eminence. Here indeed was a great Ca|holic. When comes such another ? S. ARPUDASAMI UDAYAR, M.LjC.
